Exactly. It's a "senin duanla doğmadım ki senin bedduanla öleyim" type of thing. We never asked for Iraqi permission to operate in N Iraq. Our partner there is KRG, not Iraqi government.
They can protest all they want, everyone knows what's going on. This won't effect our operations directly unless they put their money where their mouth is and move the army up north. If and when Iran wants to take matters into its own hand by using PMU, that's another issue.
Depends, Iranian aligned factions in Iraq have been reducing the autonomy of the KRG as much as they can, such as the oil sales (which TR made large profits from). TR has been balancing relations with Baghdad and Barzani but we will have to choose a side at some point in the near future - Iran or KRG
Although law doesn't matter much in this region so I doubt Iraq will move it's army up North and state they have the law on their side while evicting TR (potential conflict - how would TR respond?)
The PMU is going to be the likely response, rockets and drones on TR positions and interests, businesses while Iraq pretends it doesn't know where the source is. That would be the big problem for TR.
America is the litmus test, if America leaves, so is TR.
Funny thing about this resolution - Iran would stay in Iraq as they are not officially there.
