In Iraq, Iran-backed Shiite armed groups refuse to disarm

In Iraq, Iran-backed Shiite armed groups refuse to disarm

While the Iraqi government is trying to disarm illegal militias, the Shiite armed groups, with the support of Iran's terrorist regime, continue to resist and threaten national security.

The Iraqi government is now facing a major crisis after the Shiite armed groups firmly refused to lay down their arms and obey the national authorities.

These groups, most of which have received military training and financial support from Iran's terrorist regime for years, now directly threaten the stability and integrity of Iraq.

In violation of Iraqi laws, these militias not only refuse to disarm, but have expanded their activities, causing further complications in international relations.

Iran's terrorist regime, known for bloodshed, internal repression, and regional interference, uses these groups as a tool to protect its interests and undermine any reform efforts in Iraq.

The deadlock over disarming the Shiite groups weakens the Iraqi government's position and raises the risk of civil war, prompting deep concern from the international community.

It is considered necessary that the international community push these groups to disarm without delay and allow the establishment of full legal authority, so that Iraq may break free from cycles of violence.

Key Iran-Backed Groups in Iraq under the command of the Iranian regime in Tehran.

Kata'ib Hezbollah: A hardline militant faction known for direct attacks on U.S. and coalition forces 
Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq: A powerful paramilitary group with significant political and military wing presence.  
Harakat al-Nujaba & Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada: Factions aligned within the broader network that launch regional operations.
