Countering U.S. Adversary WMD and Drone Threats in Iraq

Objectives: The goal of the ISN/CTR Iraq Program is to protect U.S. personnel from attacks by securing chemical and biological materials, dual-use equipment, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure to prevent misuse by state and non-state actors. In support of the Maximum Pressure Campaign on Iran, the program enhances Iraq’s ability to counter UAS/UAV threats, especially by Iranian-proxy groups. The program focuses on enhancing Iraqi UAS threat countermeasures, bolstering chemical and biological response capabilities, and strengthening public, private, and regional collaborations to secure high-risk chemical facilities and mitigate CB threats.
