14 Temmuz 2026DW

During a meeting between Donald Trump and Iraq's new Prime Minister, the topic of disarming Iran-allied militias in Iraq is expected to take center stage. Some militias have expressed willingness to relinquish their weapons, raising questions about the feasibility of such commitments.
The outcome of this discussion could have significant implications for the ongoing tensions between the US and Iran.
The meeting comes at a time of heightened tensions between the US and Iran, with Iraq serving as a critical battleground for influence. The presence of Iran-backed militias complicates the security situation in Iraq, making disarmament efforts a contentious issue.
The disarmament of Iran-aligned militias in Iraq presents a complex challenge, as these groups are deeply entrenched in the socio-political landscape of the region. While some pledges to disarm may indicate a shift, the sincerity and enforceability of these commitments remain questionable.
