Iraq launches national sovereignty project
On October 1st, Iraq announced its comprehensive plan for full national sovereignty, affirming that it will not permit the presence of any form of armed foreign forces or groups on its territory. This comes amid escalating regional tensions and efforts to enhance coordination with Turkey to serve common interests. In terms of military measures, Washington approved the sale of Bell helicopters to Iraq valued at $800 million, aimed at strengthening its air capabilities and modernizing its fleet, especially following difficulties in obtaining spare parts for Russian helicopters due to the war in Ukraine. On the security front, Iraq has completed the interrogation of more than 5,700 individuals suspected of belonging to ISIS, who were transferred from Syria. The country is planning to prosecute those whose involvement has not been sufficiently proven and face corruption issues, such as the seizure of a businessman’s funds for his involvement in illegally selling Iranian oil.
