  "account": "An-Nahar, a Lebanese newspaper, highlights concerns expressed by the leadership of Iraqi Kurdistan over the American withdrawal. Their worry points to the need for guarantees from beyond their borders, reflecting long-standing issues of repression and broken promises. However, the primary concern is why a country cannot assure its citizens, prompting them to seek protection from distant powers with shifting priorities. This scenario is evident in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and other regions, where national communities seek security through alliances with foreign entities, indicating a potential flaw in the development of nation-states.",
