Regional tensions continue following escalatory actions in and around the Islamic Republic of Iran since late February 2026. In view of the fragile ceasefire in place since 8 April, Iraq continues to face escalating pressures stemming from regional tensions. This crisis further exacerbates pre-existing vulnerabilities linked to the country’s complex security environment and protracted displacement associated with the conflict with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Continued monitoring of internal displacement and cross-border mobility dynamics remains critical to inform operational planning, preparedness, and humanitarian response.
