‘Hit by either side’: US battle on Iran threatens Iraq’s ‘cautious technique of multi-alignment’

Catherine Viette is happy to welcome Dr Renad Mansour, Deputy Director for the Center East and North Africa Programme and Director of the Iraq Initiative at Chatham Home. For years, Iraq has pursued a method of multi-alignment, explains Dr. Mansour, rigorously sustaining relations with each Iran and the US to keep away from being drawn into regional battle. Nevertheless, Iraq’s capability to stay impartial is diminishing, because the US-Israeli battle on Iran threatens political and financial stability throughout the Center East.
