Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani recently traveled to Baghdad and, according to Iraqi sources, urged Iran-backed factions not to disarm for now while avoiding direct confrontation with Iraqi security forces. Iraq had previously targeted September 30 for bringing militia weapons under state control, but officials are now signaling that the process may only begin after that date.
