Iraqi analyst: Coordination Framework visit to Tehran underscores Iran's influence on militia disarmament
Ihsan Al-Shammari says the Coordination Framework's Tehran visit highlights Iran's role in decisions on Iraqi militia disarmament.
Ihsan Al-Shammari, the head of the Iraqi Political Thinking Center, has revealed that the delegation from the Coordination Framework visiting Tehran in Iran illustrates Iran's significant influence over the Iraqi government's efforts to disarm militias. The delegation's purpose is to negotiate a plan for disarming Iraqi militias.
Al-Shammari informed Al Arabiya FM that the Iraqi government has already chosen to form a committee to engage in talks with various militias about returning their weapons. The visit to Tehran comes as the Coordination Framework is set to form this committee. The Iraqi Prime Minister has fixed September 30 as the last day for all militias to give their weapons to the state.
The State Administration Coalition, which comprises the leaders of the four presidencies and the political bloc leaders, declared that any group refusing to surrender its weapons will face anti-terrorism laws. The Security Media Cell confirmed that the Iraqi government is resolute in ensuring all weapons are under state control, noting a substantial decrease in tribal conflicts and their near disappearance in certain regions.
