Iraq is sitting on a geopolitical powder keg, and the fuse is burning fast. From the brutal massacre of over 700 Tishreen protesters by IRGC-backed forces in 2019 to Muqtada al-Sadr’s delusional attempt to play both anti-American and anti-Iranian nationalism, the entire political system is rigged for a catastrophic collapse. As Ali Khamenei tightens his grip through proxy militias and the coordination framework, a massive power vacuum looms with the inevitable passing of Ayatollah Sistani—a figure wrongly hailed as peaceful by the West. We break down the ruthless religious power plays, the judicial coups handing the country over to Tehran, and why the new Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi might be the final nail in the coffin for Iraqi independence.
