Has anyone been to Iraq/Basra lately?

I am interviewing with an EPC in Iraq (Rumaila) based near Basra. This will be for a 28/28 rotation, 12 hr days, based in camp. Has anyone been to Rumaila region in Iraq recently? How is security, camp life, etc?

I was working at ROO in 2018 through Petrofac (UAE). No issues at all, had the usual PSD security arrangements as is normal in Iraq.

I checked approx. 3 weeks ago with a person who joined Rumaila in Iraq and he mentioned there doesn't seem to be any issues, specially with very tight security arrangements.
I am also considering Iraq offer.
