What to know

  • Al-Zaidi extended his militia disarmament deadline from Sept. 30 to June 2027, starting with a 90-day halt-to-attacks period.
  • The extension coincides with the completion of the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq on Sept. 30.
  • Hardline factions including Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat al-Nujaba still reject full disarmament, citing Turkish troops and Israeli operations on Iraqi soil.
  • Iraqi security officials warn the plan is unlikely to succeed without a broader U.S.-Iran peace agreement, as Iraq says it has lost roughly $60 billion in oil revenue from the wider regional war.

    Zaidi's plan folds militia fighters into state PMF — Al-Zaidi said the plan goes beyond seizing weapons: militias must cease existing as independent organizations, with fighters permitted to join Iraq's state-recognized Popular Mobilization Forces individually; groups operating under militia names past the deadline will be "deemed outlaws."
