    Die IS-Terrormiliz gilt im Irak als besiegt, nun zieht das US-Militär ab. Von dauerhafter Stabilität ist das Land aber weit entfernt. Es wird vor allem ein Schauplatz im Iran-Krieg bleiben.

      Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi faces pressure to disarm Shi'ite militias. Several powerful groups resist handing over their weapons to the state. This standoff creates significant security and political challenges for the government. The situation is complicated by ongoing regional tensions between Iran and the United States. US-led coalition forces are scheduled to withdraw from Iraq by September 30.
