Iraq’s Arms Control Test
The government of Ali al-Zaidi is stepping up its security, judicial and economic measures to bring weapons under state control and curb the influence of armed factions. These include issuing an arrest and investigation warrant for the son of the secretary-general of Kataib Hezbollah, and cancelling the contracts of three companies at Mosul Airport because of their links to armed groups. The government has set the end of June 2027 as the deadline for completing efforts to address weapons beyond its control, revising an earlier deadline of September 2026. The plan includes handing over strategic weapons and integrating unofficial formations into the relevant institutions. The efforts face resistance from some factions and fears of internal escalation. The government says it aims to bring weapons under state control without resorting to confrontation.
