- Baghdad had pledged to place numerous powerful Iran-backed militias under state control by September 30, but the deadline appears likely to be missed.
- The withdrawal risks removing a US counterweight, potentially giving Tehran greater influence over Iraq’s political and economic affairs.
- Iran cultivated opposition groups before 2003; after Saddam Hussein’s removal, their armed networks helped shape Iraq’s new state.
- Iranian influence is also reinforced by trade and energy links; the IMF estimates public-sector jobs represent 40% of Iraq’s employment.

- Barton argues that heeded warnings, fuller FBI-CIA information sharing and greater threat assessment could have prevented the attacks.
- International police cooperation now disrupts most terror plots during planning, while lone actors remain harder to stop.
- The article attributes Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack chiefly to Israeli leaders’ failure to heed warnings.
- Barton says the decades-long global war on terror lacked a clear goal, intensified conflicts and created new opportunities for terrorist groups.

- Security agencies monitored Ballout before the attack but eased surveillance due to lack of imminent threat signs.
- The Khadija Mosque in Berlin is hosting events against Islamism, while CDU and CSU advocate stricter controls on extremist groups and monitoring methods.
- The attack sparked widespread solidarity and is expected to influence political dynamics ahead of upcoming regional elections.
