As Iraq is under international pressure to control arms, the Prime Minister of the country, Ali Al-Zaydi, has reiterated his determination to limit weapons to government control. However, the realities on the ground show that militias such as Asha'ib Ahl al-Haq continue their activities, and there are no signs of real disarmament within these groups.
Response to Security Challenges
Iraq, as a country on the path to reconstruction and stability, faces multiple security challenges. Iranian-linked militias, given their influence and power on the ground, have become a serious obstacle to the government's efforts to control arms. These groups play a role not only in military operations but also in political decision-making, negatively impacting the disarmament process.
Agreements Without Action
Despite numerous agreements and promises for disarmament, the realities on the ground indicate that these promises have largely remained just words. Experts believe that without real will and effective actions, achieving the goal of arms control in Iraq will become impossible. This is while the Iraqi government is under external pressures to show progress in this area.
As a result, security and political challenges in Iraq remain strong, and if the government fails to fulfill its promises, the future of this country will remain shrouded in uncertainty. Given this situation, it seems that disarming Iran-linked militias will remain an unattainable dream in the near future.
