I could look on the map and see Syria and Iraq are neighbors. But what I wasn’t seeing and what I didn’t understand was what most IQD investors have never been told is Syria is more important to Iraq’s economy and well-being than Iran…In the Middle East news I have always seen Iraq and Syria paired up in reports. Silly me, I didn’t understand Syria and Iraq hold hands much more tighter than Iraq and Iran…Iran is aggressive. Iran is under sanctions. Iran is hungry. They need food…shelter …money…They want to lean on Iraq…Syria and Iraq share a long porous border…anything that happens in Syria can quickly spill over into Iraq. When Syria becomes unstable…Iraq feels the pressure almost immediately… What happens in Syria shapes Iraq’s future… : Sandy Ingram
