dijlahpoint - International reports revealed on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, that Washington is fully aware of the possibility that armed factions may practically refuse to hand over their weapons, despite their initial consent. The reports indicated that the US administration, despite cautious optimism regarding the disarmament process, understands that there are attempts to buy time and delay the step. In a related context, the US State Department decided to reinstate Stephen Fagin to manage the affairs of its embassy in Baghdad in anticipation of any developments. This move follows a previous downgrade in diplomatic representation. Fagin's selection is attributed to his extensive experience in the Iraqi file and his ability to reassure regional and local allies. The US Embassy has welcomed his return to succeed Joshua Harris, who has concluded his diplomatic mission in the country.
