️🇮🇶🇮🇷🇮🇶🇮🇷 Rudaw: Proposed amendments to the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) draft law aim to place its brigades under unified military command, preventing them from competing with the Iraqi army in their large armament and organization base, and outside their cities.
The amendments also limit independent movement, curtail the sweeping powers of faction leaders, enforce stricter retirement rules and sever ties between armed factions and political parties.
The Iranian faction, Raqat al-Nujaba, rejected the amendments "in their entirety", calling them "suspicious amendments". The group claimed the changes were aimed at weakening the PMF, claiming they were supported by "Wahhabi and Zionist hands" and American pressure.
