PKK allegedly hit with an airstrike in Sulaymaniyyah.
 
A few years ago, when Turkey targeted the terrorists in Sinjar, Kays el-Hazali had said, "Iraq should acquire an air defense system from America if necessary against the Turks." When the PKK terrorist organization carried out mortar attacks on our bases in northern Iraq, the channels of Iran-backed Shiite militias reported the news with a festive air in their own way, saying "Guerrillas/Freedom fighters struck the invading Turks." For these people, the presence of the Turkey-backed Syrian army on the border is a greater disaster than the presence of America. Those who didn't utter a word about the border presence of the US-backed organization went to the border and put on a show with anti-aircraft guns, swords, and such when the Syrian army captured Yarubiye, saying "Let us go fight these in Syria."

Turkey Withdraws Troops From NATO’s Iraq Mission
...
“In line with this decision, the Turkish Armed Forces personnel serving in Baghdad at the mission have been withdrawn successfully,” sources said. They also informed that Turkey lent support for the withdrawal of the troops from other allied nations who were deployed in Baghdad.

Reports said Turkey facilitated the withdrawal of around 200 Spanish troops from Iraq in recent days.



Just to clarify any potential misunderstandings, we have not withdrawn from Iraq. Turkish forces remain stationed in the North to ensure PKK won't encroach on our border; however, our troops, who were part of NATO's Iraq Mission, had to leave Baghdad alongside the Spanish contingent. 1200 NATO personnel returned home.

Well, Iran ended NATO's involvement in Iraq. It is undeniably a small victory for them.

For now, the Euphrates Tigris basin is receiving above average precipitation.

The Devegeçidi Dam in Diyarbakır is at maximum capacity leading to forced discharge.

These huge amounts of water are flowing into the Tigris River and reaching Iraq's marshes eventually.
 
This might actually fix the marshes in southern Iraq that were endangered and going extinct.
I believe you are talking about the Huwaizah Marshes in Southern Iraq.

- Iraq faces a critical July 27 deadline as its oil pipeline agreement with Turkey expires, threatening one of its only major export routes after the Strait of Hormuz closure.

- Oil production has collapsed from more than 4 million bpd before the Iran conflict to around 1.4 million bpd, raising risks of permanent reservoir damage and severe economic strain.

- Turkey holds significant leverage in renewal talks, reportedly demanding higher transit fees, investment commitments, and broader energy partnerships in exchange for keeping Iraqi crude flowing to the Mediterranean.
