Iraq's new government led by Prime Minister Ali Zaidi has stepped up efforts to curb Iranian infiltration and limit the activities of armed militant groups affiliated with Tehran. In this context, 9 government officials were fired for being involved in oil smuggling in an area under the infiltration of Hezbollah Kataib. At the same time, Iran exerts pressure to expel the Kurdish groups opposed to the Islamic Republic from the territory of Iraq and the Kurdistan region.
