- Western countries and regional states funneled funding to extremist groups affiliated with al-qaeda in iraq after the 2003 us-led invasion to undermine the new iraqi political order.
- Prolonged conflict between Iran and the United States and Israel will deepen Middle Eastern reliance on Ukraine for defense against Iranian drone attacks.
