AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

World Cup Return: Iraq’s 40-year wait ended in Foxborough as Norway crushed the Lions of Mesopotamia 4-1 in Group I, with Erling Haaland firing a brace and Aymen Hussein scoring Iraq’s second-ever World Cup goal before a late own goal sealed it. Iraqi Pride & Milestones: Zidane Iqbal, the first player of Pakistani heritage to feature at a men’s World Cup, came on as a substitute during the match, while Hussein’s goal story—shaped by war and family tragedy—kept Iraq’s fans hopeful despite the loss. Regional Security Claims: A CNN report says Israel deployed special forces and Mossad-linked units in southern Azerbaijan, plus operations tied to Iraq and other nearby areas during the Iran conflict, claims Azerbaijan rejects as unfounded. EU Migration Crackdown: The EU says it’s stepping up Channel enforcement with more staff, surveillance, and stronger UK-France cooperation to disrupt migrant smuggling networks after another high migrant total on England’s coast. Business in Baghdad: SOUEAST opened its first Iraq Mall showroom in Baghdad, signaling expansion plans to Erbil, Najaf, and Duhok.
