Iran-Backed Militias Attack U.S. Targets in Iraq: Implications for Iraq’s Stability, 18 DEC
Iran-Backed Militias Attack U.S. Targets in Iraq: Implications for Iraq’s Stability
Recent attacks by Iran-aligned groups on U.S. targets in Iraq have rattled the foundations of Iraq’s security and stability. These attacks, which include assaults on diplomatic headquarters, military bases, and troops, are closely interconnected with the Israeli-Gaza conflict, and notably escalated following Operation Al Aqsa Flood on October 7.
Government Response and the Militia Challenge
The Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani, has firmly condemned these attacks, blaming them on Iranian-backed militias such as the Badr Organization, Kata’ib Hezbollah, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq, and Kata’ib Sayyid Al-Shuhada. Despite attempts to rein these groups in, the continued proliferation of weapons among non-state actors and the glaring inability of the Iraqi state to maintain control over security decisions persist.
Post-Operation Al Aqsa Flood meetings in Baghdad, involving Iranian officials and Iraqi militia commanders, underscore the overreach of non-state actors and the blatant undermining of Iraqi sovereignty.
Iran’s Strategic Calculus
The attacks, spearheaded by pro-Iran militias, are seen to harbor deeper motives than merely supporting the Palestinian cause. As per some Iranian experts, these actions are part of Iran’s strategic intent to expel U.S. forces from Iraq and expand its influence within the country unopposed. These developments risk escalating the conflict into a regional war, with profound implications for the Middle East and beyond.
Implications for Iraq’s Future
The current state of affairs threatens to derail Iraq’s journey towards economic and security improvements. Trade agreements execution and international assistance efforts are being obstructed, casting a dark cloud over the future of the nation. The resurgence of security turmoil in Iraq is hindering regional and international assistance, thereby impeding potential investments and trade agreements.

[via PDK] I am not worried about a float. None of my bankers are worried about a float...I was told that because of the “Oil for Dinar“ program –the redeeming banks or redemption centers that this will be our best price. All my bankers agree
They have been very upfront over the last couple of days that we are very close to the finish line for the Iraqi people. This is about all they can say without giving away to much. It is very exciting what we are hearing in Iraq. ...The leaders are telling the people that they are about to have an imminent change coming to their valuations and to pay attention when they shop...Most people believe they are setting us up for the next few days. I believe they may be accurate...It is coming from many different angles and directions.
From Iraq: “Statement of the Iraq Economic Contact Group of the G &, European Union and World Bank” They had some phenomenal meetings over the week about the tremendous progress that they have made in Iraq. This is coming from our own US embassy and consulate in Iraq. They talk about the budget and how it is “life changing” to Iraqis….
Even more important is what is going on in the streets of Iraq in the last day. Sudani is explaining to the citizens that they need to pay attention to “valuations”. Especially in shopping and in stores. This is because they are strengthening the dinar.
