Iraqi PM sets June 30 deadline for pro-Iran factions to disarm

W300

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on Thursday announced June 30 as a new deadline for armed factions to turn over their weapons to the state, following the end of the U.S.-led coalition's mission in the country.

"October 1 is considered a serious beginning to address the issue of weapons outside state control... according to a clear roadmap and agreed timelines extending no later than June 30, 2027," Zaidi said in a statement, after having backed away from an initial September 30 deadline.

Unfortunately not. They always find an excuse to keep them, by that they condemn their country to more misery. A dysfunctional, failed state.

A simpler question, where do they obtain their bullets=ammunition from ? that's your first, and second problem.

Everyone knows where and who the head of the snake is, but they pretend to be Helen Keller. (lookher up).

Orangeman should've finished the job back in April instead "wanting to make deals". He's yet to understand these people do not ever keep a deal. Very naive.
