Iraq’s balancing act continues!
Political rhetoric, Economic ambitions, Security challenges!
This week Al-Sudani pushes for Arab unity and deepens ties with Turkey, while Iraqi “Resistance” drone launches on Israel continue and unresolved disputes over Kurdistan’s oil exports show a widening gap between talk and on-the-ground realities.
Positive progress in infrastructure projects like the Grand Faw Port and the Basra Refinery offers hope for economic diversification, but the nation’s ability to curb internal factions and manage external pressures shows a huge weakness, with Turkish airstrikes in the north continuing without a whisper and Crystal Meth use surging, Iraq’s path to stability is, as ever, anything but straightforward.
From refining oil to refining control, Iraq’s challenges keep rolling in.
The Grid North team are prepared to deliver comprehensive security reports, data analysis, and tailored travel and advisory services with actionable insights into Iraq and the broader MENA region, with a team of “down to Earth” consultants equipped to provide "Ground Truth," develop strategic plans, and achieve tangible results without the waffle.
For advice or on-the-ground support, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
