- The United States announced it had completed its withdrawal from Iraq on Wednesday, more than 20 years after invading the country to topple Saddam Hussein, in a move that was celebrated by the Iraqi government and the Pentagon – as well as Iran and its allies, who claim years of pressure forced the American departure.
In 2024, the Iraqi government and the Biden administration agreed to a phased withdrawal of US troops, a plan the Trump administration has honored. The pullout, however, leaves a new Iraqi government with the daunting task of loosening Iran’s grip on its neighbor, which has long been trapped in a cycle of sectarianism, foreign meddling and civil conflict.

- Gulf oil producers, with considerable support from the US Navy, are jamming crude through the Strait of Hormuz, right under Iran’s nose. Oil and petroleum product flows through the critical chokepoint averaged 13.1 million barrels per day last week, according to Kpler, a marine data tracking service.
That’s just under 80% of the 17.1 million barrels that had traveled through the strait each day before the war broke out. “Given such a strong volume passing through the strait, it is clear Iran is losing its influence over it,” said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at Kpler.
