Iraq Labels Unauthorized Drones as Terrorism

The Iraqi authorities have confirmed that any drone launched without official approval will be treated as an act of terrorism, in an effort to control drone usage and prevent its exploitation for non-peaceful purposes. An Iraqi security official explained that the judiciary considers unlicensed drones as a source of terrorist threat, with a database being established that includes information on six million pieces of weaponry and the formation of 845 offices to monitor arms across all provinces. In 2025, 49 unlicensed drones were confiscated. The government is working to regulate the weapons market through a multi-phase plan that includes creating a weapons database, registration procedures, and measures to seize and close illegal arms facilities, as part of efforts to disarm armed factions. Additionally, Iraqi forces carried out campaigns targeting ISIS hideouts, resulting in the destruction of eight clandestine caches in Kirkuk using military aircraft, as part of the ongoing counter-terrorism efforts.
