Iraq was pushed to the brink of civil war after PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani designated Hezbollah and the Houthis as terrorist groups—then reversed the decision amid massive backlash. US envoy Thomas Barrack warned that Israel would bomb Iraq if pro-Iran groups kept arming Hezbollah. Iran-aligned politicians erupted, calling the move a betrayal of Iraq’s sovereignty. The government withdrew the designation, claiming it was an “error.” This crisis exposes Iraq’s fragile sovereignty, US pressure, and Iran’s powerful influence inside Baghdad.
