    Good news. Maybe Iraq will finally be able to control its own oil again.

      Judging by what is newly happening in Venezuela, I think its unlikely USA will cede control over Iraq&#x27;s oil&#x2F;money as the mentality of the US state is unchanged. And USA is in debt&#x2F;various individuals profiting personally.

          &gt;Iran is becoming the new regional power

          Is that what the Iranian state media is telling you?

            One of Trump and allies main points right now is that Iran and allies are decimating regional bases and air capacities.

            Look at the US allies in the region, they&#x27;re all struggling to defend against Iran right now. The US is dangerously low on munitions to protect allies and much of the US&#x27;s presence in the area has been bombed.

            The US is losing this war.
