Iraqi Weapon Registration Set for September
The article concerns the extension of the weapon ban period in Iraq until June 2027, instead of the original deadline in September 2023. This extension was made with U.S. approval amid stringent conditions imposed by armed factions, primarily Kata'ib Hezbollah and the Asaib Ahl al-Haq movement. Official statements reaffirm that disarmament requires additional time, estimated at six months, during which dialogue and coordination between the government and these factions will continue to ensure that regional or internal Iraqi targets are not harmed. It is also emphasized that Iraqi forces have now become capable of maintaining national security following the withdrawal of foreign troops. The extension reflects the parties’ desire to buy time, given the tense regional circumstances. Sources indicate that the disarmament process is more driven by factions' fears of each other rather than concerns from the American side.
