The issue of mandatory conscription has returned to the forefront of political and security discussions in Iraq, amid divisions over its feasibility and implementation. Security experts confirmed that fundamental obstacles prevent the law's passage, most notably the lack of the necessary financial cover to fund military camps and train conscripts amidst current economic challenges. Although the draft law has been introduced in successive parliamentary sessions, deep disagreements among political blocs regarding its provisions—coupled with the need for a comprehensive organizational and administrative infrastructure across all provinces—have led to its repeated postponement. Expectations suggest that the law is unlikely to be passed in the near term, pending political consensus and sufficient financial resources to reactivate a system that has been abolished since 2003.
