Iraq has submitted a proposal to Iran and Saudi Arabia for the establishment of a joint security coordination council, aiming to reduce tensions and strengthen stability in the region. Iraq's National Security Advisor presented the new plan, continuing Baghdad's efforts to mediate between the two regional powers. The proposal comes at a time of security tensions in the Middle East, as Iraq seeks to prevent conflicts between regional states from spilling into its territory. In an interview, Al-Araji emphasized that decisions on war and peace should remain solely with the state, and that limiting arms to the state is a purely strategic decision. He added that the military campaign against ISIS has ended, although pockets of activity remain. His remarks come against the backdrop of discussions in Baghdad regarding the status of armed militias affiliated with Iran, and efforts to strengthen government control over weapons.
