Baghdad follows the NATO crisis with the urgency of a country squeezed between Iran and an increasingly unpredictable American ally
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
Baghdad covers the NATO withdrawal threat with the attention of someone living in the middle of the battlefield. Iraqi News relays the White House statement: Trump will discuss the possibility of leaving NATO in his meeting with Rutte. For Iraq, torn between American and Iranian influence, any American disengagement from multilateral structures has direct consequences. If Washington punishes its European allies for lack of support during the Iran war — a war unfolding partly on Iraqi soil and in Iraqi airspace — Baghdad finds itself even more isolated, squeezed between an empowered Iran and an unpredictable American ally.
