This region has a high concentration of Sunni Arabs and was a stronghold for Saddam Hussein's regime. It became a center of insurgency against the U.S.-led coalition forces after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Option A, the Fertile Crescent, refers to a larger geographical region that stretches from the eastern Mediterranean coast through Iraq and down to the Persian Gulf. Option C, the Shatt al-Arab, is a river that forms the boundary between Iraq and Iran. Option D, Persia, is an ancient kingdom that is now modern-day Iran and is not relevant to the current geography of Iraq. Option E is not a valid answer as it includes both A and B, but only B correctly answers the question.
