BAGHDAD - The top U.S. general, Mark Milley, arrived in Iraq on Tuesday amid a spate of anti-government protests in the Middle East and questions about how they could impact Iranian influence in the region.
Lebanon has faced five weeks of anti-government protests, fueled by anger at corruption among the sectarian politicians. “Everybody looking at popular protests in the Middle East has to keep very much in mind that we rarely have an idea where these are going to go,” said Jon Alterman, a Middle East expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
There are also concerns Iran could lash out militarily against U.S. allies in the region to deflect from pressure being built up by protests within Iran. “Iran is aggressive in the region against their neighboring states, both overtly and covertly,” Army General Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters this week.
