Tension will not subside until another starts in Baghdad, this time through threats issued by Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq that have warned Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi of the possibility of an all-out war …
Meanwhile, Al-Kazemi stressed that the fugitive weapons were not allowed to move and threaten the freedom and security of Iraqis. These developments come against the background of accusations against Iraqi factions affiliated with Iran of being behind the missiles fired at the Green Zone. Tehran has reiterated its refusal and condemnation of targeting diplomatic missions.
So what is behind the escalation between Al-Kazemi and some Iraqi factions? What is the ability of the Iraqi government to face these threats? Will Al-Kazemi succeed in distancing his country from the Iranian-American differences and their consequences?
