Answer 1

Iraq is polluting some of the water which affects the Persian gulf and Syria's and Turkey's proportion of the water.

Answer 2

The biggest current issue surrounding the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers are the attempts by the Turkish government to place dams on those rivers, substantially cutting the down-river flow to Syria and Iraq. Turkey claims it needs the dams for hydroelectric power.

Additionally, as mentioned above, the rivers are getting rather polluted from all three countries using them, but primarily Iraq as Iraq has the longest stretch of the rivers.
