Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada conditions weapons surrender on US withdrawal from Iraq

The Iran-aligned militia Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada has issued ten demands to the Iraqi government for the surrender of its weaponry, primarily contingent on the total withdrawal of US forces. The group also demands a prohibition on the use of Iraqi airspace for regional operations and the formal codification of the Popular Mobilization Forces' legal status, signaling a strategic attempt to leverage state integration for political and military autonomy.
