Implications of limiting Iran-backed arms in Iraq
The article discusses Iraq’s efforts to restrict the armament of armed factions within the "Popular Mobilization Forces" as part of the government’s plan. These efforts come amid American pressure to integrate Iran-backed factions into the state and reduce their influence. Two Iraqi factions have announced that they have handed over their weapons to the state, while other factions—especially those stationed near Tehran—continue to cling to their arms. This move is part of Baghdad’s attempts to balance the influence of Washington and Tehran and to ensure security stability, amid ongoing divisions between Iran-supported factions that refuse to relinquish their weapons.
