Key take-aways:
Iran adopts a strategically pragmatic approach to Iraq, cooperating widely to maximise its influence while working hard to retain vital Iraqi economic support, especially vis-à-vis its rivalry with the US.
In contrast, Arab Gulf states’ approaches to Iraq have been stop-start – although Iraq’s own weak governance also contributes to this.
Europeans should encourage Arab Gulf states to act more strategically on Iraq by strengthening their ties in the country. An Iraq that has diverse regional relationships is more likely to be stable and secure, in line with European interests in the Middle East.
