Abstract
This research addresses the repercussions of the Syrian crisis that erupted in 2011, which is considered one of the most complex contemporary crises in the Middle East due to the political and security imbalances it has caused. Syria’s importance is highlighted by its strategic location, which has granted it economic and political significance and made it a focal point for regional and international interventions. These interventions have directly impacted Iraq and contributed to the complexity of its political and security reality. The repercussions of the Syrian crisis continue to cast a shadow over Iraq’s stability, particularly amid the escalation of terrorist threats, foremost among them the Islamic State (ISIS). The study uses the historical approach to understand the origins of events in Syria and their roots over time, and how they developed and reached the current stage. It also examines this conflict and the local and regional threat it poses, in addition to examining the security and political repercussions for Iraq. The study also relies on the analytical approach to arrive at a clear conclusion about the impact of the Syrian crisis on Iraqi national security in the future.
