On the evening of the 26th local time, a spokesman for the Iraqi prime minister said that various Iraqi militias have agreed to include all weapons under national control by June 30 next year. Among them, several militias have been disarmed and their members have merged into the Iraqi armed forces. He stressed that the news about the US instructions to close the border crossing between Missan province and Iran in southern Iraq “has no factual basis” and that the decision was “due to regulatory and administrative considerations.” Iraq rejects any statement that affects the dignity of the nation.
