  The principal U.S. demand being placed on Iraq is to reduce Iranian influence in the country, which especially takes the form of pro-Iranian militias.

'Iranian influence' sounds relatively benign, but while the US has been fighting Iran, Iraqi militias reportedly have been entering Iran to help the IRGC man checkpoints, etc.
