Here's another article that suggests Iraq & Iran are in bed together...Iran's influences in the region are not going away anytime soon...

 

Edu Matrix:   Iraq Warms Up To Iran.

ARTICLE:  The US has issued a serious warning to Iraq: stop the illegal smuggling of Iranian oil or face harsh consequences.

 

The U.S. may freeze over *$350 million* in Iraqi oil revenue & impose sanctions on Iraq’s main oil company, **SOMO**.  This comes as U.S. officials uncover a secret network involving Iranian crude, foreign oil tankers & companies across **Turkey, the UAE & Hong Kong**—all allegedly tied to Iran’s **Revolutionary Guard Quds Force**.

 

But that's not all.  The U.S. is also sounding the alarm about **Iranian-backed militias operating inside Iraq**, accusing them of fueling violence & instability.

 

The pressure is building fast, with Washington demanding that Iraq rein in these armed groups before tensions spiral out of control.

 

PM Sudani just met with U.S. officials in Baghdad as the world watches closely.

 

Will Iraq choose the U.S. or Iran?

 

 This is more than just oil—this is about power, politics & peace in the Middle East.

 

 Don’t miss the full breakdown of this geopolitical showdown.
