Press Reports: Restricting Weapons to the State Requires a Security Strategy and Genuine Guarantees

dijlahpoint - International press reports indicated that the process of restricting weapons to the state in Iraq requires realistic incentives and a clear post-implementation security strategy to avoid remaining mere promises and slogans. The reports explained that administrative corruption and bureaucratic inflation have deprived the country of vital resources that could have been invested in development, making it vulnerable to external pressures. They stressed the necessity for the government to adopt a conditional approach based on developing the economy and providing guarantees before completing disarmament operations. The reports warned that any security vacuum could be exploited politically and securely, emphasizing the importance of achieving full sovereignty over political and security decisions to ensure the country's stability.
