Ali Faleh al-Zaidi, Iraqi Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces: 🇮🇶
There must be no weapons outside the law nor any forces operating outside state institutions, in accordance with the Constitution, the guidelines of our respected religious authority and the wishes of our people.

One of the challenges still facing Iraq is to complete the integration of Iraqi resistance groups into the military and security apparatus and to dismantle Kurdish separatist groups in the north of the country (though not the security forces of Iraqi Kurdistan), which is why closer cooperation with Iran and Turkey is likely in the coming weeks to dismantle these groups, which still pose a threat to Tehran, which will not hesitate to continue bombing their positions once the Americans have completely withdrawn from Iraq. 🇺🇸🇮🇶
