Iraq delays militia disarmament deadline
Reports indicate that the Iraqi government has changed its stance regarding the date for disarming the militias affiliated with Iran. The security adviser to the Prime Minister clarified that September 30th does not mark the end of the deadline for surrendering weapons, despite previous statements suggesting that the period would end with the withdrawal of the relevant international coalition forces. The Iraqi government faces pressure from factions insisting on keeping their arms, believing that disarmament serves the interests of Israel and the United States. There are concerns about clashes between the government and these factions after the deadline. The government affirms that efforts are underway to recover weapons from cooperating factions and that, starting after September 30th, it will progressively begin to consolidate arms under state control.
