Iraqi PM orders firearm law draft

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi announced that he has instructed the preparation of a draft law to restrict weapons to the state. He warned that uncontrolled weapons pose one of the most serious threats to the country's stability and undermine the authority of the law and the prestige of security institutions. He also emphasized the importance of strengthening the sovereignty of the state and developing the capabilities of the military establishment to ensure internal stability. The Ministry of Interior announced measures to seize unauthorized drone aircraft, and more than 55,000 weapons have been confiscated recently as part of efforts to keep weapons under state control. It is expected that weapons belonging to armed factions will be handed over to the Popular Mobilization Authority, which will organize and document the weapons, with a final deadline set for September 30 to eliminate any weapons outside the control of official institutions. Despite some factions resisting disarmament, with some linked to "resistance" groups and external threats, efforts are ongoing to enforce this deadline.
