In his first interview with foreign media since taking office, Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi told the NYT that Baghdad will give Iran-backed militias until June 2027 to disarm, starting with a 90-day period in which factions halt attacks and receive assurances against U.S. targeting before surrendering weapons. This replaces his original Sept. 30 deadline, which the militias rejected.
