Iraqi-iranian Relations After 2003 A Study Of The Economic And Security Dimensions

Authors : Hussam Ali Omran .

Abstract

Iraqi-Iranian relations underwent a radical transformation after 2003, shifting from hostility to strategic cooperation. This shift was driven by the collapse of the previous regime and the filling of the political vacuum. The security partnership deepened to address shared challenges, while Iran became a major economic partner through substantial trade and its direct influence on Iraqi political and security institutions.
