Iraqi PM sets Sept 30 deadline to disarm Iran-backed militias; Kata'ib Hezbollah threatens him

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi has set a September 30 deadline to bring all weapons under state control and disarm Iran-backed militias. Kata'ib Hezbollah is threatening al-Zaidi directly, warning its "patience is running out." He says he won't retreat "even if it costs me my life." The pressure is coming from both sides. Washington is demanding disarmament, with Iraq's access to crucial dollar flows and its economic stability at stake. Tehran wants its armed network preserved. @theiranwatcher
