Iranian influence and support for insurgent terrorist groups operating in Iraq remains a significant challenge to our military operations and U.S. security policy in the Middle-East. The nature of influence Iran exerts in Iraq involves all elements of national power: Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic (DIME). Iran provides support to insurgent terrorist groups waging asymmetric warfare against U.S., Coalition, Iraqi Security/Police Forces, and the civilian population. The violent attacks from Iranian backed insurgent groups pose serious challenges to the security and stability of Iraq, and the Middle-East region as a whole. The purpose of this research effort is to analyze Iran's strategy of influence in Iraq; and make recommendations for military strategists and policy makers.
