Iraq PM Al-Zaidi Vows to Disarm Iran-Backed Militias, Sets Ambitious Timeline

Iraq's new Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, a political neophyte, has publicly committed to disarming Iran-backed militias, a goal previous leaders failed to achieve. He outlined an ambitious timeline, though feasibility is uncertain given entrenched militia influence and regional dynamics. This marks a potential shift in Iraq's balancing act between the US and Iran, with implications for regional stability and US-Iran tensions.
