EU seeks to deepen partnership with Iraq
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Ambassador of the European Union to Iraq, Thomas Seiler, reaffirmed on Sunday the European Union's intention to expand its collaboration with Iraq in different fields.
Seiler's remarks took place during his meeting with the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, to discuss relations between Iraq and the European Union as well as the latest developments in the region, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
Al-Sudani said during the meeting that the current Israeli aggression against Iran poses a direct danger to security and stability in Iraq and the region.
The assault carried out by Israel against Iran was intended to hinder all previous diplomatic attempts, a clear breach of international laws and standards, according to Al-Sudani.
The Iraqi prime minister underlined the obligation of major countries, particularly the European Union, to intervene to prevent such confrontations.
Al-Sudani reaffirmed Iraq's clear condemnation of the violation of its airspace and emphasized that Iraq has always exercised extreme caution and avoided engagement in regional wars, prioritizing the interests of the Iraqi people.
Seiler praised Iraq's regional and international stances, as well as the government's accomplishment in building long-term security and stability and a balanced foreign policy.

Iraq caught between US-Iran axis: Experts debate Baghdad's fate
Shafaq News/ Iraq is no longer a top priority for US foreign policy, according to former Assistant Secretary of State Denise Natali. Speaking Monday at a Chatham House panel in London—attended by Shafaq News—Natali, now a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, stressed that Washington views Baghdad as increasingly aligned with Tehran and is closely watching whether Iraqi authorities will comply with sanctions on Iran. Although the US has not completely disengaged, Natali explained that American involvement in Iraq's state-building and civil society development is steadily diminishing, marked by sharp reductions in institutional support. UK MENA Director Stephen Hickey acknowledged, during the panel, Iraq's efforts to stay neutral amid rising regional tensions but cautioned that its stability remains precarious, urging Baghdad to advance governance reforms, crackdown on corruption, and restructure its security forces to avoid being pulled into a wider conflict. He also recommended deeper ties with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar as a path to regional stability, calling them increasingly constructive actors. Another Speaker, Hamidreza Azizi of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs argued that Tehran still clings to its foothold in Iraq, despite growing resistance, warning that Iran perceives Iraq's economic recovery and closer Arab ties as threats to its dominance. 'Iran doesn't want a strong Iraq; it wants a Shiite-led Iraq,' Azizi remarked, adding that Tehran now favors Oman over Baghdad as a diplomatic channel, despite their formal alliance. In addition, Political analyst Sajad Jiyad of Century International urged a recalibration of Iraq-Iran relations, framing the moment as a strategic opening for Baghdad. 'Iran knows the region has changed. It can't keep managing Iraq through the IRGC,' Jiyad observed, referencing Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's recent visit to Lebanon as evidence of Tehran's shifting approach. Jiyad recalled that the last major shift in Iraq-Iran ties came in 2011, following the US troop withdrawal, when Iran's focus turned to countering American presence. Today, he argued, regional realignments give Iraq's current or future leadership a chance to renegotiate the relationship based on the realities of a transformed geopolitical landscape.

Countering potential faction attacks: Iraq reinforces defenses
Shafaq News/ Iraqi forces have intensified deployments across western Nineveh to block rocket launches by Iran-linked factions, a senior security source confirmed on Monday. The move comes amid fears that those factions may enter the fray as Iran and Israel trade missile and drone strikes following Israel's Operation Rising Lion and Iran's retaliatory Operation True Promise 3. Troops raised the alert to Level C—the country's highest—and reinforced desert zones bordering al-Anbar and Saladin with checkpoints, ambush teams, and patrols, targeting rugged, sparsely monitored terrain previously used for cross-border strikes. 'These areas are under tight watch to prevent any armed activity that could trigger further escalation,' the source told Shafaq News, noting the effort is coordinated with Baghdad and includes enhanced intelligence operations. Earlier, US forces had heightened alert levels across their positions in Deir ez-Zor, al-Tanf, and Hasakah, reinforcing air defenses as fears of Iran striking bases in the area rose. The Global Coalition also transferred over 100 truckloads of military gear from Iraq to northeastern Syria through the al-Waleed crossing. Supplies—delivered to bases in Khirab al-Jir, Qasrak, and al-Shaddadi—reportedly included air defense systems and radar arrays.
