The United States has delivered a stern warning to the Iraqi government, stating it will not support any administration that does not take action against factional attacks targeting American personnel and assets. This message underscores the Trump administration's growing impatience with the persistent threat from Iran-backed militias operating within Iraq. The warning signals a potential shift in US policy, linking future political and military support directly to the Iraqi government's willingness and ability to rein in these armed groups.
