Israeli Center on US Disarmament Plan
The article discusses the Iraqi government's plan to disarm the Iranian-backed armed factions, led by the United States, which entails surrendering their weapons before the end of September. The plan comes amid increasing rejection and targeting of regional and international interests by these factions, in the context of significant political and security challenges, as well as Iran’s intent to thwart these efforts. Reports indicate that the success of the plan depends on Iraq’s ability to dismantle militia strongholds and establish security control, despite declining Iraqi resources and a reliance on diplomatic and economic channels. The situation is further complicated by the presence of approximately 60 armed Shiite factions believed to be affiliated with Iran. Their leaders adhere to the ideology of “Wilayat al-Faqih” (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist), which puts them in conflict with the Sadrist movement and the religious authority in Najaf. These militias have increased in strength since the U.S. invasion in 2003 and have been linked to the Popular Mobilization Forces to combat ISIS.
