Security In Iraq February 8-14, 2024


From February 8-14 not a single act of violence by any armed group was reported in Iraq by the media. This has happened before in recent history. The last time was the first two weeks of October 2023.

 

The Islamic State continues to fade as any kind of threat in Iraq. At the end of January it seemed like it was attempting a small comeback but that fizzled out.

 

Pro-Iran groups have also halted their operations for now. This was reportedly due to pressure from Iran and a deal with the Sudani government to give diplomacy a chance to negotiate a U.S. withdrawal from the country.
