PARIS/BAGHDAD—Iran has given ballistic missiles to Shi'ite proxies in Iraq and is developing the capacity to build more there to deter attacks on its interests in the Middle East and to give it the means to hit regional foes, Iranian, Iraqi and Western sources said.

Any sign that Iran is preparing a more aggressive missile policy in Iraq  would embarrass France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The three European nations have been trying to salvage the nuclear deal ditched by U.S. President Donald Trump, despite new U.S. sanctions against Tehran.
