BAGHDAD, Iraq (AFP) One year after US forces assassinated Iran’s most storied commander, tensions are boiling between Iraq’s Washington-backed premier and pro-Tehran forces that accuse him of complicity in the Baghdad drone strike.
US President Donald Trump sent shock waves through the region on January 3, 2020 with the targeted killing of Iran’s revered General Qassem Soleimani and his Iraqi lieutenant, which infuriated the Islamic republic and its allies.

Biden s test: Rebuilding the Iran nuclear deal Trump tore apart Tracy Wilkinson © Provided by The LA Times Iran s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, addresses military commanders in Tehran on April 19. (Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader)
President-elect Joe Biden has made no secret that one of his earliest foreign policy objectives will be for the U.S. to rejoin the landmark Iran nuclear deal that the Trump administration has spent four years disparaging and gutting.
Restoring the agreement, however, will be among his administration s toughest foreign policy challenges. The president-elect s team will have to navigate a raft of new Trump-era U.S. sanctions, tweak the deal to garner domestic and international support and convince Iran that it is in its best interest to cooperate. It will also have to work quickly: Iran s moderate president, seen as the best advocate within the Islamic Republic for the deal, will be leaving office in June.
