Crossfire in Iraq: Caught in the Clash Between US and Iran
As tensions escalate between the US and Iran, Iraq finds itself caught in the middle, facing attacks from both sides. Explore the complexities of this geopolitical conflict and its impact on the Iraqi people.
Iraq has found itself in a precarious position, caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran. As tensions between these two powerhouses continue to escalate, Iraq has become a battleground, facing attacks from both sides of the dispute.
The US has long viewed Iran as a threat to its regional dominance, and the two countries have been engaged in a proxy war for influence in the Middle East. Iraq, with its strategic location and complex political landscape, has become a key arena in this broader geopolitical struggle.
On one side, Iran and its proxies have carried out a series of attacks on Iraqi soil, targeting US military installations and personnel. These attacks have been part of Iran's efforts to retaliate against the US for its actions, such as the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in 2020.
