Iraq Religious Authority and Weapons Control
The article discusses the efforts of the religious authority in Iraq, led by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, to call on armed Shia factions to restrict their weapons to state control. This stance emerges within a context of internal transformations and ideological differences between the traditional religious authority based in Najaf and the Supreme Leader's office in Iran. Najaf is seeking to strengthen its legitimacy in security and political matters, especially as the influence of some Iran-aligned factions diminishes and they request religious legitimacy to restrict their weapons. The goal is to maintain stability and weaken direct Iranian influence.
