    After many years, the country is still suffering from many explosive files, on top of which are the militias that undermine the authority of the state.
    In the same context, the commander [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] General Paul Calvert, in an interview with Defense One, warned of the return of the civil war, because of those militias.

    He said, "In my opinion, there are two main threats to Iraq at the moment, the first is the Popular Mobilization factions and the militias, and the second is the economy. Both of them, without oversight, may undermine all the gains that have been made."

    He also added that the main problem lies in the Iraqi government's lack of control over these militias, and explained, "There is great concern about the possibility of an internal Shiite civil war between the factions allied with Iran and others."
    It is noteworthy that many factions fall within the PMF, including several groups loyal to Iran, while the so-called "Mobilization of Atabs" follows the Najaf authority.

    In addition, the US military commander said, "There is no doubt that Iran is seeking to turn Iraq into a proxy state," adding, "To achieve this, it follows two methods, the first by supporting the political blocs allied with it, then through the forces, factions and militias," which receive support and guidance from Tehran .
    The commander of the US Central Command, General Kenneth Mackenzie, confirmed in an interview with the Middle East Institute last month that "Iran is using Iraq as a battlefield against the United States," adding that Tehran is "a major source of turmoil in Syria and Yemen as well."

    He also considered at the time that "the American presence in the region deters Iran, and that the American military capabilities exist to defend American interests, partners and friends," adding that "Iran understands this message."
