Iraq Bars Use of Its Territory for Strikes on Neighboring States
🏛️ BAGHDAD — Iraq just told Washington it can't use Iraqi soil to hit Iran. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Al-Zaidi's declaration directly constrains US forward-strike options from Iraqi territory — the same infrastructure Tehran targeted in Erbil days ago. With the October expulsion deadline already set, Baghdad is now also closing the airspace door. This isn't neutrality; it's alignment under pressure, and it narrows Trump's strike geometry before authorization is exercised.
