US combat forces will withdraw from Iraq at the end of 2021 (Getty Images)[/size]
As the date of the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of US combat forces from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on December 31 approaches, questions are increasing about the implications of this withdrawal, and whether it will provide space for the country to restore official control over the security joints and end the pretexts taken by the armed factions loyal to Iran to continue their activities.
Despite the talk of the armed militias in Iraq that the continuation of their activities is linked to the presence of the US forces in the country, the imminent date of their withdrawal led officials in those factions to question the move or assert that what is happening is just a “trick” practiced by those forces.
It seems that the story of militia weapons in Iraq continues, as observers believe that these groups will continue to find excuses to keep the weapons that create security and political influence.
Outputs of the strategic agreement
Since 2020, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] been preparing for the withdrawal of their combat forces in the country, in preparation for a complete withdrawal at the end of this year, during the next few days.
In September 2020, the US command announced that the number of its forces would decrease from 5,200 to 3,000 within a month, while there are about 2,500 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in Iraq at two main bases, "Ain al-Assad" in Anbar Governorate and "Harir" in Erbil.
According to a statement by the Iraqi Security Media Cell, "an Iraqi military technical committee that included National Security Adviser Qassem Al-Araji, Deputy Commander of Joint Operations Abdul Amir Al-Shammari, the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army and a number of commanders, conducted a visit to Ain Al-Assad Air Base in Anbar Governorate, in continuation of the results of the strategic dialogue and to follow-up Implementation of the Iraqi agreement with the international coalition forces to completely withdraw the combat forces of the coalition forces from the country and start the work of advisers.
The statement continued, "The committee visited the places of gathering equipment and logistical support. The committee also conducted a field tour of the areas occupied by the international coalition forces, and reviewed some models of the mechanisms and technical devices that have begun to be handed over to the Iraqi army, the Counter-Terrorism Service, and the Border Police Force Command."
The strategic dialogue calls for ending the combat roles, withdrawing fighters from the American forces, stopping the air strikes of the international coalition against ISIS sites, and transferring the coalition's tasks to consulting, training and exchanging intelligence information.
The spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasoul, had previously stated that "the remaining advisers who will work within military bases will have their numbers determined by the military leadership as needed, or by the technical committee that discussed the outcomes of the strategic dialogue."
Despite the continuation of the withdrawals, the international coalition’s columns continue to be targeted, as the spokesman for the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahya Rasoul, announced that an attempt to target logistical support columns with two explosive devices in Babil Governorate was thwarted.
On December 19, the Green Zone was bombed by two Katyusha missiles, and the Security Media Cell said that the air defense system managed to remove one of the missiles, while the other landed in the celebration square, causing damage to civilian vehicles.
Factions doubt
The armed factions loyal to Iran are skeptical of the US withdrawal from the country, with leaders of major militias indicating that the United States is trying to deceive them into handing over their weapons.
The Secretary-General of the "Al-Nujaba" militia, Akram Al-Kaabi, had questioned the American withdrawal from Iraq, saying, on December 10, during a meeting with leaders of a number of armed factions, that he did not believe the American promise to withdraw from the country by the end of this month.
Al-Kaabi confirmed that the militias' weapons will remain with them "until it is handed over to its legitimate and official owner, who is the owner of the age and time," in reference to the Mahdi, the twelfth imam among Shiite Muslims, which means that the militias will not surrender their weapons even if the American withdrawal takes place.
Last November, the leader of the Sadrist movement called on the armed parties to "dissolve all the factions, at once, and hand over their weapons, as a first stage, to the Popular Mobilization, through the commander of the armed forces."
Supporters of these militias faced Al-Sadr's call by saying that the weapons would only be handed over to "the absent Imam Mahdi who will appear at the end of time", according to the Shiite sect.
In conjunction with al-Sadr's call, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei wrote on his Twitter account, "The enemy wants you to surrender and ignore your weapons, including drones and missiles, in order to attack you."

"Withdrawal Control Guarantee"
Observers believe that what is happening among the militias loyal to Iran are attempts to find excuses to justify the survival of their weapons, which may prompt them to justify the continuation of their activities under the pretext of "monitoring the withdrawal."
The researcher in political affairs, Hisham Al-Mouzani, believes that the armed factions will deal with the US withdrawal as a "deception," noting that they will focus on one idea to ensure the continuation of their activities and justify their security influence by "the necessity of staying to monitor the withdrawal."
Although the pro-Iranian militias are constantly skeptical of the American withdrawal from the country, they will “try to portray this withdrawal as a result of the continuous pressure exerted by the factions on them,” according to Al-Mouzani, who points out that this will give them space to maneuver in keeping their weapons to “ensure Completion and control of withdrawal.
Al-Mouzani asserts that the militias in Iraq "are now afraid of internal strikes against them or turning them into a negotiating card for Iran, and therefore they will stick to their weapons in an attempt to include them as a party in any internal or external settlements."
justifications
He points to several paths that the armed factions may pursue in the coming period to find a minimum justification for the continuation of their armed activities, including "questioning the withdrawal, as well as using the pretext of ISIS's movements and the return of its activity in certain areas."
Al-Mouzani believes that the leaders of the Shiite armed movements are once again playing the "sectarian card", by "accusing the Gulf countries of interfering in the results of the recent elections, as well as their attempt to portray what is happening about the political majority as targeting the Shiite consensus exclusively."
In addition to the sectarian card, it seems that the recent security events in Iraq, specifically the bombing that took place in Basra Governorate, have become “paths exploited by the state currents to talk about the need to continue their activity to maintain security, by proposing the idea that all areas where the crowd is not active in which security breaches occur. ".
He concludes that the armed factions have always found pretexts to keep their weapons, as they used the pretext of "defending the holy sites in Syria" to maintain the momentum of their presence after the US withdrawal in 2011.
sectarian escalation
Although some armed militias in Iraq were formed before the US invasion of the country in 2003 under the pretext of confronting Saddam Hussein's regime at the time, most of them were formed after the fall of the regime.
The formation of armed militias continued after 2003, most of which enjoyed Iranian support, but the presence of these factions waned after extensive military operations carried out by the Iraqi government with the support of US forces in 2008, or what was called at the time as "the Knights' Cavalry."
The presence of the pro-Iranian factions declined between 2008-2011, but they quickly returned to activity during the second session of former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, especially with the escalation of sectarian escalation during that period, and al-Maliki providing havens for these factions.
After years of persecution of the "Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq" militia, that group returned to activity again after the US withdrawal in 2011 and al-Maliki's provision of headquarters in the capital, Baghdad, which were opened in 2013.
Although the armed militias loyal to Iran lost the pretext of “resistance” after 2011, as a result of the American withdrawal from the country, they are now investing in other areas to justify the presence of their weapons, including the escalation of attacks launched by ISIS and Al-Qaeda, as well as On pushing young people to volunteer to fight in Syria under the pretext of “protecting the sanctities,” as many factions that later became affiliated with the Popular Mobilization Forces have been active in recruiting thousands of Iraqi youths to go to fight in Syria.
Despite this activity, the largest activity of these factions took place after ISIS occupied a third of Iraqi territory in June 2014, as the battles with the organization reinforced the armed factions’ excuses to keep their weapons inside Iraq, in addition to framing their activities in an official context. It is represented in the Popular Mobilization Authority that was formed later.
The state militias have invested heavily in the fatwa of "sufficient jihad" issued by the supreme Shiite authority in Iraq, Ali al-Sistani, despite the majority of the factions declaring their allegiance to the Iranian leader, Ali Khamenei.
Faction influence
Throughout the battles with ISIS, the use of the term "American resistance" has greatly diminished, despite Washington's leadership of the international coalition to fight the organization in Iraq, but it reappeared again after the bombing of weapons stores belonging to the Popular Mobilization factions inside the capital, Baghdad, during the term of President Former Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.
Observers describe the period of Abdul-Mahdi's rule as the spring of influence of the armed factions in Iraq, as these factions controlled many joints of the economic and security state, but they returned to using escalation against the United States and talking extensively about the "American occupation" again after the October protests. ) and forcing Abdul-Mahdi to resign.
Military operations against the bases that house American forces escalated widely after the Iraqi uprising, which ultimately led to an unprecedented escalation between Washington and Tehran against the backdrop of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Despite all this, the pro-Iranian factions face this time a big dilemma in justifying the presence of their weapons and activities, especially with the US forces announcing the withdrawal of their combat forces from Iraq.
The moment of the great defeat
Perhaps the dilemma of the state factions has become greater after losing the last elections, which may mean the end of their political and security influence in the country, which prompted them to describe the US withdrawal as a "hoax."
On the other hand, the head of the Iraqi-Australian Center for Research, Ahmed al-Yasiri, believes that the US forces' announcement of the withdrawal of combat forces represented a "great moment of defeat" for the armed factions loyal to Iran, because it "dropped the justifications for the faction's weapons to remain."
He added in an interview with "The Independent Arabic" that "Washington has become aware that its survival as a defensive force to help Iraq is presented to the street as an occupying power and gives justifications to the factions to keep their weapons."
Al-Yasiri points out that this stage represents "the beginning of the great collapse of the armed factions, from the October uprising to their loss of elections and the US withdrawal," noting that these factors "make the factions feel panicky."
Al-Yasiri points out that the loss of the recent elections by the pro-Iranian currents led directly to their losing the political cover that protects the continuation of their armed activities. However, the association of these militias with the Revolutionary Guards system creates outlets for their continuation.
Regarding the possibility that Tehran’s reaching a new agreement on its nuclear program will lead to the abandonment of the armed forces in Iraq, Al-Yasiri believes that this will not push Tehran to abandon the militias in Iraq, but it may lead to the imposition of calm on those militias.
Al-Yasiri asserts that the imminent date of the withdrawal of US combat forces "may stimulate cells associated with ISIS, which is what is happening during the recent period."
And he continues, that the restoration of some ISIS cells' activities in Iraq "will provide an additional pretext for the pro-Iranian factions to justify the presence of their weapons."
He concludes that "the withdrawal of US forces represents a positive event if the Iraqi government makes good use of it, especially as it eliminates the pretexts for carrying arms for the factions, in addition to the fact that Iraq does not need a combat force as much as it needs logistical support, arming and diplomatic support from Washington."
