Iraq Faces Turmoil Over Factions Will Al-Zaydi Step Down
Tensions are escalating in Iraq as the deadline for armed factions close to Iran to hand over their weapons approaches. These militant groups refuse to disarm, raising fears of a clash with the Iraqi government. Simultaneously, reports are emerging about the possibility of US strikes targeting the leadership and stockpiles of these groups, amid leaks suggesting that there may be a request to extend the deadline until next June. Former Iraqi Defense Ministry advisor, Ma'an Al-Jabouri, explained that Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaydi is facing a difficult situation as the deadline nears, especially after previous commitments from the US president to contain weapons. He warned that any escalation could complicate internal affairs and regional relations further. This period is pivotal, as developments in foreign policy—particularly concerning Iran and regional conflicts—are expected to impact the internal scene in Iraq, amid fears of the effects of US sanctions and rising security tensions.
