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
