Iraq caught in the middle as tensions rise between Iran and the United States

Iraq is becoming a focal point in the regional tensions between Iran and the United States. Pro-Iranian militias in Iraq are reportedly hesitant to fully join a broader conflict, while the country faces attacks targeting both U.S. interests and those militias. Some headlines also mention unconfirmed rumors about President Trump and note that some Democrats who served in Iraq are now vocal critics of potential war with Iran.
