Iraq faces a dire crisis as its caught in the crossfire of the Iran-U.S. conflict, with drone and missile attacks targeting American bases, diplomatic sites, and oil fields. The country, heavily reliant on oil for revenue, is experiencing severe disruptions, with Gulf shipping halted and exports nearly halted. If the situation persists, Baghdad may struggle to meet public-sector payrolls, potentially sparking widespread unrest. Meanwhile, talks to restart exports via a pipeline to Turkey are stalled, and powerful militias continue to launch attacks on U.S. interests. Iraqs caretaker government, limited since last Novembers election, struggles to control these militias and bridge divides between pro-Iran and pro-U.S. factions. Power supplies are also down, with households receiving only four to six hours of electricity a day. Despite leaders calls for calm, stability hangs by a thread.
