Kurdish Refugees

The U.S. has issued a warning to Iraq to cease attacks on the Kurds and not interfere with international efforts to aid refugees. Iraq is restricted from moving military forces north of the 36th parallel. This warning marks a policy shift, though analysts view it as largely cosmetic. The U.S., along with Great Britain and France, has airdropped supplies to the Kurds and plans to request additional aid from Congress. Despite these efforts, the U.S. remains firm in its decision not to engage in Iraq's civil war, focusing on humanitarian aid rather than military intervention.
