Al-Zaydi Sets 2027 Deadline for Weapon Inventory

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi set a new date to resolve the issue of arms held by Iran-backed factions. He decided that June 30, 2027, will be the final deadline for disarming these groups and preventing them from arming outside state control, following the conclusion of the US-led international coalition's mission to fight ISIS. This announcement comes after the factions failed to hand over their weapons by the previous deadline in September, amidst ongoing negotiations to regulate their armament. Disarming these groups is a complex matter due to Iran's influence and the factions' control over large areas since Iraq's 2003 invasion. Tensions between Washington and Tehran have been escalating, and the struggle for influence in Iraq remains intensely competitive.
