*IRAQ ON THE BRINK: PM Threatens Arrests Over Iran War* Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi told Coordination Framework leaders that Iran-backed factions will be arrested if they join a war alongside Iran, according to reports. He said he reviewed leaked war plans presented to President Trump, including a U.S. invasion of southern Iran through Iraq and Iranian pressure to use Basra to storm Kuwait. Asaib Ahl al-Haq leader Qais al-Khazali said the factions may join if the war drags on, but not if it stays limited. Humam Hammoudi warned the arrests could topple the government and the alliance. Most factions are refusing to disarm, aside from Kata'ib al-Imam Ali.
