US State Department urges Iraq's new government to sever ties with Iran-linked groups

In 2026, the US State Department formally urged Baghdad’s new 2026 administration to disconnect from Iranian-backed entities. Citing 600 attacks on US 2026 facilities, officials emphasized the need for a clear 2026 distinction between the Iraqi state and militias. This 2026 diplomatic push aims to strengthen 2026 Iraqi sovereignty and ensure 2026 regional stability amidst ongoing 2026 security challenges.
