Iraqi PM commits to weapons restrictions by 2027

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi pledged to confine weapons held by armed factions by June 2027, aiming to bring these groups under state control. This effort is part of an ambitious plan to reinforce Iraq's sovereignty and regain control over security institutions. The government faces significant challenges, as five factions rejected this timeline, raising concerns about possible military or political escalation. International pressures are also mounting, particularly from the United States, which seeks to limit the influence of Iran-backed militias, while the latter aims to expand their reach using these militias. Disagreements continue over the presence of Turkish forces in northern Iraq and the need to integrate local Kurdish forces into the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd Al-Shabi). Economic and security disputes have exceeded the government's plans, as Iraq lost approximately $60 billion in oil revenues due to the ongoing war between Washington and Tehran. Simultaneously, efforts are underway to forge new economic ties and develop oil pipelines to Europe, reflecting a move towards enhancing the country's economic and political independence.
