Iraq's State Weapons Monopoly Meets New York
The article focused on the efforts of the Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi, to restrict weapons to the state and the escalating challenges and debates surrounding the implementation of this goal. It highlights contradictions in official statements between security officials regarding the timeline for handover of the weapons, as well as ongoing internal disagreements within the Coordination Framework over the mechanisms and legal frameworks for regulating the weapons—whether to fully surrender, organize, or freeze them. The article also discusses how these issues relate to requests from Washington and the expectation of a possible summit between Al-Zaydi and Trump during the United Nations meetings in New York. The absence of such a meeting is seen as a sign of American retreat, complicating efforts to implement the weapon restriction plan, especially amid resistance from armed factions and threats to withhold compliance on the handover deadline. The article clarifies that the government’s actions aim to maintain a unified official stance, reduce internal divisions, and support efforts to establish the state's sovereignty over weapons.
