Who Blocks the PMF Law
Amendments to the Popular Mobilization Forces Commission Law are being held up primarily by Washington’s objections. It argues that the draft does not require heavy weapons, missiles and drones to be handed over to the state, nor does it settle who will control military decision-making. Sources said US envoy Tom Barrack had not expressed satisfaction with the amendments. The delay is compounded by disagreements between the government and PMF leaders over the fate of personnel and the families of those killed, the budget, and which body is authorized to issue deployment orders, as well as objections from some factions to provisions in the draft. Although parliament can pass the bill by a simple majority, the draft has yet to reach parliament. The existing law is expected to remain in force until the disputes are resolved.
