🇮🇶🇮🇶⚡️ — The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says it will not disarm after more than 40 days of negotiations with the Iraqi government, claiming the government has not responded to an agreement linking disarmament to the withdrawal of U.S., NATO and other foreign forces.

The group says it rejects any disarmament timeline, will keep its weapons and retain the right to respond to U.S. or Israeli violations of Iraqi sovereignty, while remaining open to dialogue.
