[size=45]Specialists in Iraqi affairs believe that the file of armed militias will be present at the negotiating table between the United States and Iran, whose first rounds are currently taking place in Vienna, where the last two weeks have witnessed preliminary negotiations between Iran and the international powers that are still part of the nuclear agreement, namely France. And Britain and Germany in addition to Russia and China.[/size]
[size=45]Those negotiations coincide with a marked escalation in the activities of militias destabilizing the region, and their continuous attacks on international facilities, in Iraq and neighboring countries, which makes the United States pressure Iran to intervene in resolving the file of those groups associated with it.[/size]

[size=45]The former adviser to the International Coalition against ISIS, Kazem Al-Waeli, confirmed that “National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan added the files of armed militias and Iran's ballistic missiles to the negotiating table, if they happen directly between the two parties, as the issue so far is only initial discussions. “.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Waeli added to (Pasnews) that “the previous negotiations were in the presence of John Kerry, a friend of Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif, but at the present time, the situation is much different, especially with the renewal of files in the region, such as the Houthi’s control of areas in Yemen, And targeting Saudi Arabia, which makes all these files on the table as well.[/size]
[size=45]He pointed out that "the Iraqi militias will be a pressure card, in the hand of the United States, against Iran, as it is the official sponsor of those militias."[/size]
[size=45]Attacks escalate[/size]
[size=45]During the past period, armed militias have escalated their attacks against foreign installations, Iraqi forces, and the bases of the international coalition, in various provinces of the country.[/size]

[size=45]Last week, a booby-trapped drone targeted an international coalition site at Erbil airport, without resulting in any casualties, which opened the door wide for calls for reducing the presence of militias and ending them completely.[/size]
[size=45]During the past few months, the Iraqi armed groups felt that Iran might sacrifice it, as part of a settlement deal with the international community, which prompted these groups to talk about the need to resolve the outstanding issues with the government by directly negotiating with it and not going to Iran, as Qais expressed. Khazali, leader of Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia.[/size]
[size=45]Iran maintains a large number of armed groups, which it finances with money and weapons, logistical support and training in Iraq, such as the militias of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq Movement, Harakat al-Nujaba, and the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades, as well as the Hezbollah Brigades.[/size]
[size=45]Iraq is one of Iran's cards[/size]
[size=45]In turn, a professor of media at the Iraqi University, Kazem al-Jabri, believes that “the Iraqi file will be strongly present in the negotiations of the United States and Iran, specifically the issue of armed groups loyal to Iran, as these groups embarrass America because of its constant targeting of its allies such as Saudi Arabia and the Kurdistan region, which is what He invites them to propose the existence of these groups, and the necessity to end their danger.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Jabri added to (Pasnews) that “the existence of militias can only be ended in that way, as the Iraqi government began to clearly realize that way, so more than once it sought to open channels of dialogue with Iran, regarding its support for these militias, which greatly angered those groups that She demanded a direct dialogue, without going through Iran, to demonstrate its alleged independence.[/size]
[size=45]Although the armed groups depend, in their financial funding, on what they earn from the local economic sectors, such as royalties, extortion, and control of border crossings, the Iranian moral support represents the largest part of the existence of these groups.[/size]
[size=45]And at the beginning of this month, the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Ismail Qaani, arrived in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and met with a number of armed group leaders, in what appeared to be an attempt to calm the increased activity against the coalition forces, which was considered a pre-emption to the Vienna negotiations.[/size]

[size=45]Questions have been raised about Tehran's ability to completely stop the activities of Iraqi armed groups, especially after the assassination of Soleimani, who had great influence, within those groups.[/size]
[size=45]Some observers believe that the chain of command of some of these militias leads directly to Iran, and because the chain of command is ambiguous, it was difficult to know how to counter them.[/size]
[size=45]Sources in the militia hierarchy indicate that even if Iran wants to extend its hand in this regard, it is not as easy as it seems, as it is clear that there are several actors behind these militias, as there are not only differences of opinion between the new militias inside Iraq, but also There are divisions of opinion about these militias inside Iran.[/size]
[size=45]The Iraqi government is relying at the present time, an alternative to armed confrontation, which is the slow and increasing political pressure, such as restricting their sources of income and strengthening the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces, and the position of these groups depends on many regional political variables.[/size]
