🇮🇶 IRAQ SECURITY UPDATE: MILITIA WEAPONS & IRGC ACTIVITY

 AL ARABYA NEWS

Iraqi official: The Revolutionary Guard has developed its operational methods in Iraq.. and defectors seized half of the weapons arsenal of "Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq" and formed a new militia

----

🇮🇶 IRAQ SECURITY UPDATE

⚠️ An Iraqi official claims that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has developed new operational methods in Iraq.

🔫 The official also alleges that defectors from Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq seized around half of the group’s weapons arsenal and used them to establish a new militia.

🛡️ If confirmed, the development highlights the complexity of Iraq’s efforts to bring all weapons under state control. The challenge is not only disarming existing groups, but also preventing weapons and personnel from being redirected into newly formed armed factions.

🔐 Iraq’s broader security process therefore involves negotiations, weapons transfers, militia restructuring, and strengthening the authority of state security institutions.

🇮🇶 The key issue remains whether Iraq can consolidate all armed activity under the authority of the state.

 🇮🇶 IRAQ BEGINS NEW PHASE TO STRENGTHEN STATE CONTROL

Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi announced that October 1, 2026 marks the beginning of a serious new phase to address weapons outside state control, strengthen national security and reinforce Iraq’s sovereignty.

⚔️ WEAPONS UNDER STATE CONTROL
The government says it will implement a clear roadmap to address weapons held outside state authority, with measures scheduled to continue no later than June 30, 2027.

🇮🇶 FOREIGN ARMED GROUPS
Iraq plans to work toward the full disarmament of non-Iraqi armed groups operating on its territory, reinforcing the principle that Iraqi security decisions must remain under Iraqi state authority.

🛡️ AIR DEFENSE & AIRSPACE SECURITY
Iraq will begin purchasing a complete air defense system while strengthening control and protection of its airspace and borders.

🌍 REGIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
Al-Zaidi reaffirmed that Iraqi territory and airspace should not be used to launch actions against neighboring countries. Iraq also rejects the use of other countries’ territory or airspace for attacks against Iraq.

📅 JUNE 30, 2027 DEADLINE

---

Key Statements and Focus Area

• Weapons Outside State Control: “October 1, 2026, constitutes a serious start to addressing the issue of weapons outside state control.” — Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi.
• Air Defense and PMF Law: “The government will begin supporting the security institutions by purchasing a complete air defense system” and legislating the Popular Mobilization Forces Law. — Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi.
• Focus Area: The government’s roadmap covers state authority over weapons, border and airspace security, and the legal framework governing the PMF.

---

Roadmap Through June 2027

Speaking to INA, al-Zaidi said the government’s measures will follow a clear roadmap and agreed timelines that will run no later than June 30, 2027. He linked the process to the constitutional principle that decisions on war and peace rest with Iraq’s constitutional authorities, while military action outside that framework should be prevented.

Foreign Armed Groups

The prime minister said the government will work to fully disarm non-Iraqi armed groups operating on Iraqi territory. He said the measure is intended to protect Iraq’s security and stability and strengthen government control over its borders.

Baghdad also reaffirmed that Iraqi territory and airspace should not be used to launch or facilitate actions threatening neighboring countries. Al-Zaidi said Iraq likewise rejects the use of another state’s territory or airspace to launch attacks against Iraq, citing mutual sovereignty, good-neighborly relations, and non-interference.

Al-Zaidi also said legislation would establish the Popular Mobilization Forces’ status within the security establishment and place it under the command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

End Of Coalition Mission

Al-Zaidi described October 1 as a major national milestone following the conclusion of the international coalition’s mission and the final withdrawal of its forces by land, air, and sea. He credited Iraq’s Supreme Religious Authority and the 2014 collective defense fatwa with mobilizing Iraqis during the fight against ISIS, alongside Iraq’s armed forces and other forces that participated in the campaign.

The prime minister said Iraq should now direct state capabilities and resources toward sustainable development, public services, civil peace, and stability. He also said the country would pursue regional and international relations based on shared interests and mutual respect.

FYI

The U.S.-led international coalition began its military mission in Iraq in 2014 after ISIS seized large areas of the country. Iraq declared victory over ISIS’s territorial control in December 2017, although the group has continued to pose a security threat through attacks and insurgent activity.

The coalition’s military role in Iraq has since been reduced as Iraqi security forces have taken greater responsibility for counterterrorism operations. The Iraqi government has now linked the conclusion of the coalition mission to a broader discussion of sovereignty, state authority and the future organization of the country’s security institutions

🇮🇶 IRAQ PMF LAW UPDATE

 CHANNEL8

The Iraqi Council of Ministers, during its regular session, approved the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Bill and referred it to Parliament for a constitutional legislative vote.

🇮🇶 IRAQ PMF LAW UPDATE

The Iraqi Council of Ministers has approved the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Bill and referred it to Parliament for the next stage of the legislative process. 🏛️⚖️

🔹 What happened?
The Council of Ministers approved the proposed PMF legislation during its regular session.

🔹 What happens next?
The bill now moves to the Iraqi Parliament, where it must go through the constitutional legislative process and be voted on.

🛡️ Why does it matter?
The legislation concerns the legal and organizational framework governing Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF).

⚠️ Important: Parliamentary referral does not mean the law has already taken effect, nor does it by itself mean that all militias have been disarmed or that their weapons have automatically been placed under exclusive state control.

📊 Dinares Gurus Insights:
This is another development to watch as Iraq works to define the legal framework for its security institutions and the role of the PMF within the state.

🇮🇶 Next key step: Parliamentary action.

🇮🇶 IRAQ STATUS UPDATE: REFORMS, SECURITY, HCL, BUDGET & GOVERNMENT

 🇮🇶 IRAQ STATUS UPDATE: REFORMS, SECURITY, HCL, BUDGET & GOVERNMENT

📊 WHERE DOES IRAQ STAND TODAY?

Iraq continues to work through several major political, security, banking and economic reforms. Here is the current status of the key areas being watched:

---

🏦 1. BANKING & FINANCIAL REFORMS — IN PROGRESS

Iraq continues working toward greater integration with the international financial system.

Key areas include:

🔹 Banking-sector modernization
🔹 AML/CFT compliance and financial transparency
🔹 International banking relationships
🔹 Digital banking and payment modernization
🔹 Strengthening oversight of financial institutions
🔹 Reducing distortions between official and parallel currency markets

💵 The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) continues to focus on exchange-market stability and reducing the gap between the official and parallel-market rates.

➡️ STATUS: 🟡 IN PROGRESS

---

🛡️ 2. SECURITY & STATE AUTHORITY — MAJOR ISSUE

Iraq continues working toward strengthening the authority of the state over armed groups and weapons.

The PMF Law is being revised to establish a clearer legal and institutional framework for the Popular Mobilization Forces.

🇮🇶 The broader objective being discussed is having weapons and armed forces under state authority.

🇺🇸 Reports concerning U.S. concerns over certain provisions of the PMF legislation indicate that security-sector arrangements remain an important part of Iraq’s relationship with Washington.

➡️ STATUS: 🟡 IN PROGRESS / NOT FULLY RESOLVED

---

⚔️ 3. DISARMAMENT OF PRO-IRANIAN MILITIAS — NOT YET COMPLETE

The issue of armed factions, particularly groups aligned with or supported by Iran, remains one of Iraq’s most sensitive security questions.

The government has been discussing the restriction, regulation and eventual state control of weapons, while U.S. policy and reporting have emphasized bringing armed groups and weapons under the authority of the Iraqi state.

📅 Some reporting has pointed toward 2027 as an important timeframe for completing the process of bringing weapons under state control.

⚠️ The process should be viewed as ongoing, rather than completed.

➡️ STATUS: 🟡 ONGOING — NOT COMPLETED

---

🛢️ 4. HCL / OIL & GAS LAW — STILL PENDING

The long-awaited Federal Oil & Gas Law (HCL) remains one of Iraq’s major unresolved legislative and economic issues.

The law is important because it concerns:

🔹 Management of Iraq’s oil and gas resources
🔹 Revenue distribution
🔹 Federal–regional relations
🔹 Baghdad–Kurdistan economic arrangements
🔹 Greater clarity for investors

📌 The absence of a comprehensive federal oil-and-gas law since 2007 continues to be cited as an unresolved structural issue.

➡️ STATUS: 🔴 NOT COMPLETED

---

📊 5. 2027 FEDERAL BUDGET — PREPARATION / PROCESS UNDERWAY

The 2027 federal budget is another major item being watched.

Reports discussed in recent coverage describe a different approach to budgeting, emphasizing:

📈 Performance-based spending
🔍 Greater transparency
🧾 Detailed review of expenditures
🚫 Anti-corruption measures
💰 More efficient allocation of state resources

📅 The material discussed an expected October window for budget-related developments.

⚠️ The 2027 budget should not be described as already approved unless an official parliamentary approval has been announced.

➡️ STATUS: 🟡 IN PROCESS / AWAITING FINAL APPROVAL

---

🏛️ 6. AL-ZAIDI GOVERNMENT — CABINET NOT YET FULLY COMPLETED

Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government has moved forward, but the cabinet remains incomplete.

Parliament previously approved 14 ministers, while nine portfolios remained vacant, including key positions such as Interior and Defense.

Discussions have continued over a package to fill the remaining positions, including political negotiations involving Kurdish parties and other parliamentary blocs.

➡️ STATUS: 🟡 GOVERNMENT FORMED, BUT CABINET COMPLETION REMAINS PENDING

---

💰 THE BIGGER IRAQ REFORM PICTURE

Iraq is dealing with several interconnected areas:

🏦 Banking reform
🛡️ Security-sector restructuring
⚔️ State control over weapons
🛢️ HCL / Oil & Gas legislation
📊 2027 budget
🏛️ Completion of the government
💵 Monetary and exchange-market reform

These issues are being watched because together they affect Iraq’s ability to strengthen its economic institutions, financial system, state authority and international investment environment.

🇮🇶 IRAQ REFORM STATUS:

🏦 Banking — 🟡 IN PROGRESS
🛡️ Security — 🟡 IN PROGRESS
⚔️ Militia disarmament — 🟡 NOT COMPLETE
🛢️ HCL — 🔴 PENDING
📊 2027 Budget — 🟡 IN PROCESS
🏛️ Cabinet — 🟡 NOT YET COMPLETE
💵 Monetary reform — 🟡 IN PROGRESS

📌 No official CBI announcement of a new exchange rate or dinar reinstatement is included in these developments.

🇮🇶💵 The key question now is how quickly Iraq can move these remaining political, security, legislative and financial reforms from the negotiation stage into full implementation.
