Is Iran now will be able to intervene in Iraq without accountability.
Thus, with most of the issues related to the eastern neighbor, which shares borders with Iraq extends to 1,500 kilometers and the history of stained war, it came mixed reactions about the nuclear deal along ethnic and sectarian rifts in Iraqi society present lines.
Those who are with the agreement are mostly Shiite Muslims, intimating that a good relationship between Iran and the United States will improve the security situation in their country, where competition often contribute between agents American-backed year earlier and agents of Iran Shiites who have the support , creating a state of instability. And their discussion goes about things breakthrough between Iran and the United States-two of the strongest allies Arac- which would calm the sectarian strife and unite the resistance against the Islamic state.

But those opposed to the Ag- mostly Alsnh- Muslims argue that the deal gives Iran has the right to intervene in Iraq without any US opposition.
Said Safaa Abdel-Meguid, an employee of the Ministry of Electricity and lives in Saidiya district which is dominated by Sunnis south of Baghdad, "The nuclear deal is against the interests of Iraq," adding that "Iran and the United States alliance for the destruction of this country, and that Ali Khamenei told over and over again that his country's military intervention in Iraq will continue after the agreement.

Most politicians have welcomed the high-level in Iraq to this agreement, despite the fact that some of their data was more muted than others.
Fuad Masum, the Iraqi president, has said, a Kurdish politician, told local media that "the agreement will help strengthen security and stability in the Middle East."
Said Iyad Allawi, one of three deputies to the president that he "Unfortunately, the agreement did not discuss the issue of respect for the sovereignty of other countries and Iranian interference in the region."

The influential cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, who leads the Sadrist movement derived its strength from millions of supporters, which was critical of Iran's policy towards Iraq in the recent past, it has declined to comment on the agreement.

In the long term, the agreement is expected to cast its impact on the Iraqi economy, by lowering world oil prices, which threatens financial challenges for the Iraqi government, which is the need to increase prices to overcome the current deficit in the budget.
Said Ahmed al-Alusi, a political analyst in Baghdad, said that "the talks focused on more than just the nuclear issue," adding, "We will know without a doubt .. whether the parties agreed to resolve other conflicts conciliatory manner, through negotiations, or what If they were simply going to stay with the status quo.
