    Baghdad/Al-Masala: A report by the Washington Institute regarding the eavesdropping scandal considered that Washington must amend the exchange of bilateral intelligence information accordingly.
    On August 28, news began to emerge through investigative reports of a sweeping political surveillance campaign that included the office of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. The scale of the campaign was so extensive that even Iraqi politicians and citizens—who had by now become accustomed to corruption and scandal—were shocked by the affair. For the United States, the scandal is yet another stark indication that Iraq is not as stable as it is sometimes portrayed, and that its current government is not the trusted security and intelligence partner that Washington needs.
    The institute reports that the original reports of the scandal were quickly reinforced by coverage in other major Arab media outlets and leaks from Iraqi officials and notoriously undisciplined politicians in Baghdad. The seismic reverberations in Baghdad, including the numerous emergency meetings held by political factions, suggest that there is much more fire behind the visible smoke.
    The censorship scandal—which is likely to continue until the next government is formed after the October 2025 elections—should come as no surprise given previous warnings about the damaging politicization of Iraq’s top intelligence agency, the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, according to the institute.
    The eavesdropping scandal should be a sobering moment for Western policymakers, for several reasons. First, Washington should not try to cover up the damage to al-Sudani’s premiership. For years, U.S. officials have avoided acknowledging al-Sudani’s extremely close ties to Asaib Ahl al-Haq, and the group’s leader, Qais al-Khazali, should not be allowed to control the Iraqi government.
    The United States should also severely restrict intelligence cooperation with the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, the National Security Service, and other agencies until they remove malign political appointees from their senior positions, especially pro-Iranian figures.
    Washington should broadly review its attitude toward Iraqi officials in sectors as diverse as the Counter-Terrorism Service, airport authorities, port authorities, and key ministries (e.g., finance, interior, oil, transportation, and even higher education).
