US seeks concrete actions from Iraq's next prime minister on pro‑Iran armed groups
Washington says it needs visible steps to separate Iraqi state institutions from pro‑Iran armed groups before restoring funds and security support.
A senior U.S. official said Tuesday the United States is looking for "concrete actions" by Iraq's next prime minister to distance the Iraqi state from pro‑Iran armed groups. Washington wants those measures in place before it resumes financial shipments and security assistance to Iraq.
