Muqtada al-Sadr disbands "Today is the Promised" and urges arms to be confined
On Wednesday, the leader of the Sadrist Movement in Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr, announced the dissolution of the "Promised Day" Brigade and the transformation of the Imam's Army into an institution called the "Supporters of the Mahdi Imam." He called for weapons to be confined to the state and for security forces, especially the Border Guard, to be strengthened. This comes as the US military mission in Iraq has concluded, with the US Department of Defense confirming the withdrawal's completion, and the military relationship between the two countries shifting to a bilateral security partnership. Sadr emphasized the necessity of improving the security situation and achieving political reforms, urging political leaders to make way for new faces and to rebuild the armed forces. He also called for compensating Iraq for the damages caused by the US-led occupation. Additionally, he warned against foreign interference in Iraqi affairs, asserting that ending the coalition's mission would bolster the country's sovereignty and pave the way for new security relations.
