US rejects Iraq-Iran security pact
Shafaq News – Washington The US State Department rejected on Tuesday a recent security memorandum of understanding signed between Iraq and Iran, expressing opposition to any legislation that conflicts with US goals and efforts to strengthen Iraq's security institutions. Earlier this week, a security agreement was signed in a ceremony overseen by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, involving Iraq's National Security Advisor Qasim Al-Araji and Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani. At a press briefing attended by Shafaq News in Washington, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce commented on the memorandum, emphasizing, 'We support genuine Iraqi sovereignty, not legislation that would turn Iraq into a client state of Iran.' Highlighting that the United States has been clear about the principle that the future of nations should be determined by their own people, she noted the agreement 'runs counter to what we seek.' These statements come at a time of heightened political maneuvering in Baghdad, as US officials are pressing the Iraqi government not to approve the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority law, which would formalize and expand the powers of the paramilitary coalition that includes several Iran-aligned factions.

Iraq, Turkiye hold direct talks on water and climate in Geneva
Shafaq News – Geneva Iraq and Turkiye held direct talks in Geneva on Tuesday to boost cooperation on water management and environmental issues, amid growing climate pressures and shrinking river flows into Iraq. The meeting took place on the sidelines of global negotiations to curb plastic pollution. Iraq's Environment Minister Helo al-Askari led the Iraqi delegation and warned that Iraq is facing intensifying environmental threats, driven by reduced upstream water releases and climate change, particularly in the southern provinces. Al-Askari stressed the need for stronger regional partnerships and ongoing dialogue with neighboring countries—chiefly Turkiye —to address Iraq's water and climate crisis. The talks focused on joint environmental action, climate adaptation, and sharing strategies for managing scarce water resources. Iraq also backed Turkiye's bid to host the next UN Climate Conference (COP).

Iraq's Tigris and Euphrates near collapse as water crisis deepens
Shafaq News – Baghdad Iraq is facing a worsening water crisis as the Tigris and Euphrates rivers approach critical drought levels, with officials warning of severe consequences for drinking water supplies in Baghdad and other provinces if urgent action is not taken. Ebtisam Al-Hilali, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture and Water, told Shafaq News on Tuesday that water inflows from upstream countries — Turkiye, Syria, and Iran — have dropped sharply, compounded by below-average rainfall. 'Water levels in the Tigris and Euphrates have decreased by more than 70% compared to last year, pushing both rivers into the final stages of drought,' she said. Al-Hilali warned that if Iraq fails to reach binding water agreements with upstream states, particularly Turkiye, the capital and multiple provinces may soon face interruptions in municipal water supplies, plunging the country into a full-scale drought emergency. Iraq has long suffered from falling river levels due to upstream dam projects, especially in Turkiye, which controls much of the flow of the Tigris and Euphrates through its GAP mega-dam project. Although Ankara recently increased water releases in partial response to Iraqi demands, officials in Baghdad continue to call for a fair and fixed water-sharing quota to ensure long-term national water security. Southern provinces, including Dhi Qar and Maysan, have been hit hardest. Severe drought has forced the displacement of thousands and led to water shortages in towns and villages.
