Since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime and the occupation of Baghdad in April 2003, the United States has played a significant role in shaping the new Iraqi state. Washington led the Coalition Provisional Authority, disbanded the military and security forces, and oversaw the political trajectory that resulted in the 2005 Constitution and the establishment of a pluralistic system based on consensus among various factions. In recent weeks, there have been noticeable signs from American circles suggesting a 'reassessment of the relationship' with Baghdad should it pursue paths that conflict with U.S. interests, particularly regarding arms and financial decision-making, or if controversial figures from the U.S. perspective return to power.
