3:57Now PlayingThe United States has intensified pressure on Iraq to distance itself from Iran and take action against Tehran-backed militias accused of targeting American interests, The New York Times reported, citing officials familiar with the development. The report said Washington has suspended cooperation and funding for Iraq’s security services as part of efforts to push Baghdad to rein in armed factions aligned with Iran.
According to the report, Iraq has long maintained relations with both Washington and Tehran, often balancing competing geopolitical interests. However, with the US and Israel engaged in conflict with Iran, the Iraqi government is facing mounting pressure to choose a clearer position. “The United States will not tolerate attacks on US interests and expects the Iraqi government to immediately take all measures to dismantle the Iran-aligned militia groups in Iraq," State Department deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott said in a statement, as quoted by the report.
