Baghdad-INA
U.S. Special Envoy to Iraq and Syria Tom Barrack praised on Tuesday Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi for the step to limit weapons to the state, commending factions that decided to hand over their weapons to the state.
In a post on the platform X, Barrack said, “We extend our congratulations to the Iraqi Prime Minister on this significant step forward, which represents the nascent foundation for a renewed Iraqi self-governance, grounded in restored sovereignty, enduring stability, and the promise of national renewal.”
He added, “We likewise commend those groups whose principled decision to return all weapons to the Iraqi state will contribute to the architecture of order,” noting that “Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s confidence is well-placed, for this marks only the beginning.”
