Al-Sadr to Announce Decision on Arms Restrictions Amid Threats
Iraq is heading towards ending the presence of international forces after 12 years of the ISIS war, as the leader of the Sadrist Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announced the dissolution of the "Mahdi Army" and the transformation of the "Imam Mahdi" militia into the "Supporters of Mahdi" organization. He also called for the state's control over weapons and for political figures to be replaced. Additionally, Sadr emphasized the end of the American occupation and the necessity of internal reforms. Conversely, groups like "People of the Cave" consider the restriction of weapons as unrealistic wishes and warn against a military response to any foreign intervention. The United States officially announced the end of the international coalition's mission against ISIS and withdrew troops from the Erbil base. Baghdad has pledged not to allow any foreign targeting, and the new phase focuses on strengthening Iraqi sovereignty and its political and security independence.
