Iraqi Election Could Determine the Future for U.S. Forces in the Country
Iraqi Election Could Determine the Future for U.S. Forces in the Country

PHOTO: SAFIN HAMED/AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE/GETTY IMAGES BAGHDAD—Iraqis are voting in a parliamentary election that could shape the future for U.S. forces still based there and indicate how Baghdad will navigate a broader geopolitical power struggle between Washington and Tehran. Sunday’s election, which was brought forward as a concession to a protest movement that began in 2019, is dominated by the issues that triggered the up swell of dissent: an economic crisis and endemic corruption. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal note - Back to Iraq - wow! I never thought that would happen (but) it still may not - but you never know?
