The conflicts in Syria and Iraq have converged into one widening regional crisis, edging Iraq closer to all-out sectarian warfare, as Sunni militants led by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, have taken over large areas.

Iraq’s top Shiite cleric exhorted his followers to take up arms against the Sunni extremist militants, while Iraq’s Kurds took advantage of the chaos in the country to seize full control of Kirkuk, a contested oil center.

The Obama administration, wary of becoming re-entangled in Iraq, has concluded that any American military action will depend on efforts by Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, to mend sectarian rifts. Iran and the United States have considered cooperating.

What do you want to know about the swirling events in Iraq and their impact on the ground? Are you unclear about the geopolitics of the region? Are you curious about what our reporters are experiencing in the field? Leave your questions, about any aspect of the crisis, in the comments section. Our correspondents in Iraq and across the Middle East will answer them this week.
