Iraqi government stability and security reforms

Overview

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has initiated a series of administrative, security, and economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the nation. Initially, the government focused on internal discipline and aviation recovery, implementing measures to restrict unauthorized media statements by officials and lifting long-standing military airspace restrictions in western Iraq to bolster civil aviation and economic revenue.

Following these administrative steps, the Prime Minister expanded his agenda to include a major security initiative to disarm Iran-backed militias and integrate their members into state institutions by June 30, 2027. This plan includes a proposed 90-day truce period. Al-Zaidi also addressed severe economic challenges, noting that Iraq has lost approximately $60 billion in total and 60% of its monthly oil export revenues, which he attributed to regional tensions and Iran blocking oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
