5d Volunteers in M East republic upset one from nearby country (6)

I have ?A?A?I

I have a good idea of the answer but need to justify it, so would be grateful for any assistance.

Looks like QATARI with IRAQ on the outside reversed, but why the T I don't follow either (I could be "one" of course).

Iraq + TA (volunteers) = Qatari?

Many thanks, QATARI it is with TA (Territorial Army) within Iraq (upset).

How did I not see that? ;o)
