InContact
Although significant attention has been given to athreat from Iran, Iraq views Iranian influence astenable and manageable, as they are less involved
with organizing and supporting terrorist action thaninterfacing with select political contacts withinIraq. It is GOI opinion that nationalistic Iraqiopposition to Shiite Iranian influence is seen as
likely provided there are no external foreigntriggers for sectarian conflagration. Iransinfluence is further stymied by its current
atmosphere of internal tension.
600 construction workers recentlyenacted a strike in the city of Makkah.

enjoyed relative political stability. Eightyears after the 2003 coalition invasion Iraqis now controlled politically by a ShiiteIslamic majority government. Parliamentaryelections were held on 07March10. The threemain political parties are al-Iraqiyya, the
State of Law Coalition, and the National IraqiAlliance. Iraq's constitution provides for a
tripartite presidency consisting of aPresident of The Republic and two deputy
presidents whose decisions must be unanimous.Kurdish politician Jalal Talabani was electedrepublic president on 06April05 by the IraqiNational Assembly. Vice presidents are Sunni

Major elements of the Insurgency inIraq(III) have largely been
operationally neutralized throughoutthe country due to concussive and
decisive military operationsspearheaded by US combatant forces.
With the withdrawal of US forces froma great portion Iraq, Al-Qaeda in
Iraq(AQI) may have lost somelegitimation operating in country,and although periodic high profileattacks are still being carried outon an intermittent basis, the group
may now be considering greateremphasis on execution and support of
external operations.
The current "stability"of Iraq is held togetheras a tenuous balancingact between 3 major
sectarian identifiers,150 separate tribes,
the political interestsof its neighbors, the
Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)and the continued supportprovided by United Statesand foreign personal.
AKU94-Bullpup Configuration
REPUBLIC OF IRAQANALYTIC FINDINGS:It is highly probable that Iraq will not be established as a fully functioning, independent, cohesive, self determinate, andsovereign state by 2013. Iraq is a menagerie of vying sociopolitical and religious factions in the process of solidifying into legitimate andfunctioning political bodies. Heavy investment towards the success of Iraq as a Producing Nation by international developers and contractors hasensured a measure of growth since 2003. The presence of coalition forces ensures a fragile semblance of stability and it is possible that a smallUnited States Forces (USF) presence will remain incountry to augment the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) and to support the ongoing Departmentof State (DOS) diplomatic mission.

OPEC have stated that they are counting on Iraq tomake up for deficiencies in oil production and export.
The ability of Iraq to deliver in a timely manner is highlyquestionable. Former Oil Ministry Planning Director
Fateh Al-Khayat has said, "By 2025, Iraq will contribute 5.6m b/d of an Opec call of 10.5m b/d. The rest has to
come from elsewhere. Given the current political troubles, that is unlikely, and means Opec will not be able to manipulate
the supply any more."
