Thanks to everyone who joined us at the @AtlanticCouncil for the Iraq Dialogue and helped make this event so special. You traveled from Iraq, Dubai, Detroit, the Netherlands, and many more locations from around the world to be with us. I'm still recovering from all the excitement! The standing room-only crowd was a great reminder of the energy and commitment of the Iraq community. We can't wait to do it again next year, and look forward to welcoming everyone back to DC. Special thanks to my Iraq Initiative crew @nibrasbasitkey, @DaniahJ2002, and Nour Taha for all their work to pull this complex event off.

I really enjoyed speaking with @safwanamin at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C. Many thanks to @VictoriaT_ for the invitation, and congratulations to the @ACMideast Iraq Initiative on a fantastic conference.

Our @nytimes report finds there was a second Israeli base in Iraq's desert. At least one dated back to the June '25 war. Israel chose Iraq for these covert ops due to US role in Iraq's security affairs. The shepherd who exposed the first base was killed. nytimes.com/2026/05/17/wor…

I commend the @AtlanticCouncil & @VictoriaT_ for convening the #Iraq Dialogue at such a critical juncture of developments in Iraq, U.S.-Iraq relations & the #MiddleEast. Iraq needs the will of good leadership & engagement of friends/partners. @WillWechsler atlanticcouncil.org/event/the-2026…
