Iraqi National Intelligence Service

The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS; Arabic: جهاز المخابرات الوطني العراقي, romanized: Jihāz al-Mukhābarāt al-Waṭanī al-ʻIrāqī) is a civilian intelligence agency whose constitutional duty is to collect intelligence, assess threats to national security, and advise the Iraqi government. The INIS is subject to parlimentary oversight and reports directly to the Prime Minister of Iraq.
The INIS was created with the help of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to replace the Mukhabarat, the main intelligence agency of the country.
