Iraq

President Shara’a has won diplomatic praise, but deadly clashes reveal his blind spot: failing to defuse Syria’s deep sectarian tensions.

Syria's invitation to the Arab Summit comes after Sharaa met Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani.

Sharaa overthrew the Assad regime, which was close to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and many pro-Iranian militias in Iraq fought in Syria during the civil war, backing Assad.

Iraq is having elections in November, and even though the day is far off, chaos is unfolding in the discussion about the lists ahead of the vote.

Aoun’s comments “caused discomfort among Iraqis, particularly since Iraq has consistently stood by Lebanon during times of hardship."

New leaked documents show photos of Syria's president Ahmed al-Shara'a and claim to reveal details about his connections to the Iraqi insurgency, including his detention at notorious Camp Bucca.

"We see this historic step as a long-awaited justice and a positive step towards achieving justice," said President Abdul Latif Rashid.

Iran is messaging that it is prepared to keep its arms while also pretending it might comply with demands to rein in its power in Iraq.
