Iraq Confronts Sovereignty and Iran
The article highlighted the challenges Iraq faces in maintaining its national sovereignty amid Iranian influence and political unrest following the American invasion. Despite the Iraqi government’s declaration of transferring sovereignty in 2004, the reality on the ground shows that Iraq is suffering from a deterioration of state authority, with militias and regional forces such as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Peshmerga operating independently of the central government. Iranian influence remains evident, as Iraq is considered a arena for Iran’s interests, while Iran benefits from its status as a source of hard currency and from expanding its influence. Meanwhile, Iraqi sovereignty has been nothing more than an illusory slogan used to justify the collapse of the state and the military. Ultimately, the article clarifies that the concept of national sovereignty in Iraq is nothing more than a cover for chaos and ongoing conflicts, emphasizing that actual control is divided among local and regional forces, with the effectiveness of the central state waning.
