The Middle East Forum cordially invites you to a webinar:
Can Iraqis Expel their Iranian Occupiers?
with Amatzia Baram
A wave of protests against Iranian meddling and corruption made Mustafa Al-Kadhimi Iraq’s prime minister in May 2020. His promise to reassert sovereignty faces 160,000 IRGC-controlled local militia members and their supporters in government. His efforts to combat endemic corruption have proven equally difficult. Can Al-Kadhimi succeed? Can Americans help?
