Irak hacia Iran
+15Iraqi governments have maintained political and security cooperation with Iran and substantial energy and trade ties. Iraq has also sought to balance its relationship with Iran against other foreign partnerships and to defend its sovereignty when Iranian actions have affected Iraqi territory.
Relación general
+5The relationship is structurally close because of sustained political, security, energy and trade connections, particularly since the fall of Saddam Hussein's government. It remains constrained by the memory of the Iran–Iraq War, Iranian influence within Iraq, and recurring Iraqi sovereignty concerns. Neither cooperation nor confrontation alone defines the enduring bilateral relationship.
