🇮🇶🔫 IRAQ MOVES FORWARD WITH STATE CONTROL OVER WEAPONS
🇮🇶 Iraq’s National Security Advisor Qasim Al-Aboudi confirmed that the government is moving forward with its plan to place weapons exclusively under state authority.
📜 He emphasized that Iraq’s Constitution does not permit armed groups that threaten the security of other countries.
🤝 The statement came during a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who is visiting Baghdad.
🇮🇷 Qalibaf said Iran supports Iraq’s efforts to establish a legal framework regulating weapons under the command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to existing security agreements between the two countries.
🛡️ Why does this matter?
A stronger state monopoly over weapons could help Iraq strengthen:
🏛️ State sovereignty
🔐 National security
🌍 Regional stability
💼 Investor confidence
🏦 Institutional and financial stability
🔥 THE BIGGER PICTURE: Iraq is signaling that armed groups must ultimately operate within a legal framework controlled by the Iraqi state. This could become an important part of Iraq’s broader push toward stronger institutions, greater sovereignty, and economic stability.
