Iraq accelerates weapon collection amid US approval
Iraq is working on dismantling the armed Shiite factions outside of government control, initiated by the Coordination Framework alliance led by Prime Minister Al-Zaydi, who has been tasked with taking measures to confine weapons to the state and to separate the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) from political activities. The alliance affirmed that decisions regarding war and peace are exclusively the prerogative of constitutional institutions, emphasizing the PMU’s commitment to the constitution and official orders. Washington welcomed these measures and supported Baghdad's government in this process. Meanwhile, the factions of the Islamic Resistance movement and the Imam Ali Brigades announced their disassociation from the PMU and are organizing procedures to hand over their weapons. Some other factions oppose disarmament, and it is expected that discussions on this issue will continue until the end of the year.
