Hey , Iraqi here, I live in iraq , not that interested in the political situation but I’ll give an overview…

Stuff are pretty stable compared to bloody years like 2006-2008 As mentioned by some other people above , political truces are keeping everyone kinda calm with some outrage every now & then Infrastructure is still subpar , especially when it comes to electricity in peak summer temps that reach the high 40 celsius range Regarding countries that border us , Iran is as usual the one with most influence and control here , whether politically due to their connections with the major religious/ political Shia Parties or due to their stinginess with natural gas exports to us , which has an enormous effect since our electricity grid depends on it , as far as I understand at least Turkey are hurting us too with water since our two rivers originate from their land , they’re building dams and limiting the amount of water that comes to us , leading to drying down of many significant water bodies in the southern part of our country

If you have any other questions , hit me up in the replies

From a political perspective things are quiet now between the governing parties, but it’s not gonna be for the future. The economy is falling down bit by bit with the currency inflation and with the Euphrates and Tigris drying up. I’m from Iraq and I don’t think iraq is gonna hold on for long.

Violence is down, but that’s mainly because communities segregated themselves since the war. Politics has evolved into some truces and the country had upheaval from Covid and economic downturn.

Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.
