Iran-Iraq relations over the past decade, recognized as one of the most significant bilateral relationships in the Middle East, have been shaped by a complex array of political, economic, security, and international factors. Despite the existence of deep historical, religious, and cultural ties, alongside a high level of political engagement, the development of economic relations between the two nations has not progressed commensurate with existing capacities. While positive grounds and substantial potential exist, the reality remains that the level of Iran-Iraq economic relations still lags significantly behind the latent potential and prevailing expectations. The present study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges characterizing the development of political-economic relations between Iran and Iraq in the past decade. Employing a descriptive-analytical research methodology, data were collected through documentary and library sources. Research findings indicate that, alongside considerable economic and political opportunities, factors such as political instability in Iraq, international pressures—particularly U.S. sanctions against Iran—competition among regional actors, and institutional structural weaknesses constitute the primary obstacles to the development of bilateral relations.
