- 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.

- Proposition 1 would establish a right to abortion until fetal viability and afterward in medical emergencies on November’s ballot.
- A study published last year found that 94 of 268 specialists were no longer practicing during the ban’s first two years.
- About half of Idaho’s 44 counties have no practicing obstetrician-gynecologist.
- Health professionals say this means longer waits, higher costs and less preventive-care access for all Idahoans, not only pregnant people.
Most of what obstetricians do is not obstetrics.— Dr. Edward McEachern, who led the study on the impact of Idaho's abortion ban on obstetric care.
