Iraq's Al-Sudani Strives for Stability Amidst U.S. Military Presence: A New Era of Political Engagement

The Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, is navigating complex relations with the United States amid calls for the withdrawal of foreign forces. Despite a decrease in confrontations, recent attacks on American bases highlight ongoing tensions. The government is actively working to amend the strategic framework agreement established in 2007, aiming to stabilize the situation and prevent the use of Iraqi territory for regional conflicts. The Popular Mobilization Forces, a significant local military entity, assert their readiness to maintain Iraq's security independently of foreign military presence.
