Iraq Risk Monitor

The Iraq Risk Monitor (IRM) is Borderlines Advisory’s weekly product, providing in-depth analysis of Iraq’s evolving political, security, and geopolitical landscape. It examines the developments, actors, and informal networks shaping the country’s risk environment, with a particular focus on Iran-aligned armed groups, Iranian influence, political power dynamics, and their implications for strategic sectors.

Moving beyond incident reporting, the IRM interprets the drivers behind key developments, assesses their potential trajectories, and identifies emerging risks and opportunities. Each IRM edition features focused analytical assessments of significant developments, evaluates their implications for the operating environment, and outlines indicators to watch.
