Abstract: After the American occupation in 2003, Iraq's internal, Arab, regional, and international politics turned utterly. From an independent and pioneering Arab and regional policy, characterized as hostile to the American policy, the West, and Israel, prudent of Iran, and after the internal regression after boycotting most of the Arab countries, especially the Gulf states, while following the principle of self-reliance in order to face the inhumane sanctions imposed on it since August 1990, Iraq has moved to a completely different stage. After 2003, a new era began. That era is represented by an internal policy approach governed by (sectarianethnic) influences and external influences controlled by America, Britain, and Israel, secretly and indirectly, and Iran. Then, the influences of other parties entered, from Turkey and the Arab Gulf states, which made the Iraqi decision to lose its independence. This study aims to monitor and analyze the transformations witnessed by Iraqi politics towards the Arab and regional regions after each election since 2006 because of the approach of any new prime minister, any parliament trends, the influence of parties and armed forces, and external pressures, are all influential actors in drawing the orientations of the Iraqi foreign policy. The study attempts to focus on clarifying the relationship between internal Iraqi differences and conflicts based on sectarianism, quotas, and ethnicity, their impact on impeding Iraq's restoration of its strategic position, and how these differences caused a multiplicity of Iraqi policy visions and orientations regarding its Arab and regional depth and weakened its role as an influential and influenced actor. The study also discusses the scenarios of forming the new government and its standard policies towards the Arab and regional spheres, according to three options: strength, weakness, or entire balance.
