Can Baghdad gain control over paramilitary groups amid US war on Iran?

Iraq's Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced a 30 June 2027 deadline to bring powerful paramilitary groups under greater state control, beginning with a 90-day cessation of military activity that started September 30. This process aims to limit autonomous action and integrate fighters into state structures, rather than full disarmament, and is contingent on managing group demands and external actor non-interference.

This projected shortfall, representing approximately 20% of the past year's total export revenue, highlights the significant economic impact of the ongoing maritime blockade on Ukraine's agricultural exports.

Putin's escalating bombing campaign won't break Ukrainians' resolve. History shows that it's doomed to fail | Rajan Menon

Russia launched 3,177 jet-powered drones and ballistic missiles at Ukrainian cities in September, a nearly 12% increase from August, targeting civilian infrastructure to sap Ukrainian resolve. Despite these escalating attacks and Ukraine's shortage of missile interceptors, historical precedent and recent polling indicate that such bombardment strengthens, rather than breaks, civilian morale and resistance to territorial concessions.
