Synopsis

ISN/CTR’s Iraq Program works inside Iraq to target and disrupt Iran’s efforts to threaten U.S. troops and Israel, by denying Iranian-backed proxies and other terrorist groups the ability to pursue unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) capabilities, and by preventing UAS and chemical and biological weapons (CBW) attacks on U.S. personnel and interests in Iraq and the broader region. Through targeted engagements in Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan, the ISN/CTR Iraq Program develops Iraqi capabilities to counter these threats by disrupting threat actor acquisition of materials, dual-use equipment, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure for the development of CBW, and supports Iraqi military forces, law enforcement, and laboratories to detect and respond to CBW attacks. Supporting Iraqi prevention and response capabilities against chemical, biological, radiological, and UAS threats provides security to U.S. personnel and allies in the region, while weakening Iran’s proxy networks, in turn creating greater leverage for the United States for negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.
