Iraq Reports Foiling Attacks Targeting Neighboring Countries

The head of Iraq's "Weapon Control" committee announced on Saturday that operations targeting neighboring countries had been thwarted.

Lieutenant General Qais Al-Mohamadi stated that Iraq would not permit its territory to be used for attacks against any neighboring state.

Meanwhile, government spokesperson Haider Al-Aboudi affirmed in televised remarks that Iraq's sovereignty, security, and the state's monopoly on weapons are priorities under Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi's administration. He emphasized that the significance of controlling weapons lies in preventing their manipulation for political purposes.

In contrast, the Al-Nujaba Movement, an armed Iraqi faction opposing the state's weapon control efforts, considers the current measures as targeting the "resistance weapons." The movement's executive council head, Nazem Al-Saeedi, claimed that the state's control over weapons is practically intended to dismantle the Popular Mobilization Forces.
