Iraq is apprehensive about the potential fallout from a conflict between Iran and Israel, as its airspace may be used for Iranian missiles. Iraqi political analysts express concerns over the inability of the Iraqi government to manage the repercussions of such a conflict, especially given the presence of Iranian-aligned militias within Iraq. These militias have warned of a decisive response if the U.S. utilizes Iraqi airspace to attack Iran, emphasizing that their retaliation will have no limits. U.S. officials are attempting to de-escalate tensions while reaffirming their commitment to Israel’s defense, leading to warnings from Iraqi factions against perceived infringements on their sovereignty. The Iraqi government is striving to maintain neutrality, but internal pressures from armed groups complicate this effort. As regional tensions escalate, the potential for conflict involving Iraq remains a critical concern for both local and international stakeholders.
