Setting for Operation Red Dawn (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iraq

(Other definitions for iraq that I've seen before include "Asian area of conflict" , "Country of western Asia" , "In ancient times, it was known as Mesopotamia" , "Middle-Eastern state" , "war-torn nation" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
