السياسة الإيرانية اتجاه إقليم كردستان العراق منذ العام 2014 و أثرها في العلاقة مع الحكومة الاتحادية

الملخص EN

The Iranian policy has been influenced by the direction of the Kurdistan region of Iraq since 2014, with many factors, notably: geographical, ethnic, security and economic factors.

The geographical factor is one of the most important factors.

Iran is bordering on the north-western part of the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Iran is in the northwest, Iraqi Kurds are deployed in the provinces bordering Iran, there is geographically and ethnically interdependent between the Kurds of Iran and the Kurds of Iraq, which naturally led to interaction and mutual interest in all political issues, economic, social and security.

As for the security factor, it played an important role in enhancing Iran's openness to the Kurdistan region, especially after the entry of a terrorist organization to Iraq in June 2014.

Iran was quick to provide military assistance to the Kurdistan Regional Government, thus enhancing the defense capabilities of the Kurdish forces (Peshmerga) .

With regard to the economic factor, Iran has shown great interest in the development and closer trade relations with the Kurdistan region of Iraq, as it found in the region an important outlet for the elimination of US sanctions, which are clearly pressing on the Iranian economy.
