I would not call having US troops protecting the airspace over that part of Iraq for over a decade, not caring.
Even though Iraq has called for complete US withdrawal very soon, attacks are increasing in the country and Iran will do everything it can to destabilize the Iraq government so Iran can take it over which is just one part of their plan of dominance in the entire Middle East. Destruction of Israel will follow or precede that move.
You may be correct in your statement about Turkish strikes into Iraq. However, you forgot to mention that there was an anti-Turkish terrorist group operating inside Northern Iraq that was making strikes into Turkey prior to those Turkish air strikes into Iraq.
