特朗普称美国不再需要在伊拉克驻军
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示,伊拉克已经可以在没有美军的情况下自立,而伊拉克总理阿里·阿尔-扎伊迪则表示,联军任务结束后,不受国家管控的武装组织将“没有存在的理由”。

特朗普政府推动迫使伊拉克新任总理阿里·阿尔-扎伊迪解散亲伊朗恐怖武装组织的行动正在推进——尽管遭遇了一些挫折。
中东专家们一边持观望态度,一边带着轻微的乐观情绪,而一名伊拉克高级官员在8月底宣布,巴格达不会将9月30日作为解除被称为“人民动员单位”(PMU,亦称人民动员部队)的亲伊朗武装组织武装的最后期限。
伊拉克政府正寻求通过将流氓国家附属武装组织整合到国家机构中的策略,实现对其管控。领导萨拉亚·阿尔-萨拉姆武装组织的伊拉克激进什叶派教士穆克塔达·阿尔-萨德尔今年5月表示,他支持整合。但一些更为强硬的亲伊朗政权武装组织,比如“真主党旅”和“纳杰夫伊斯兰抵抗运动”,宣称不会解除武装或融入国家体系。
该官员、总理的安全顾问卡西姆·阿尔-阿拉吉8月23日对伊拉克电视台表示:“9月30日是国际联军撤离的日期,而非交出武器的最后期限。”国际联军是特朗普首届任期内领导击败伊拉克和叙利亚伊斯兰国的美军主导部队。目前尚不清楚伊拉克政府为何推迟人民动员单位的解除武装最后期限。

伊拉克大使馆发言人拒绝就伊拉克政府传递的矛盾信息以及解散或整合人民动员单位的时间表置评。
就在阿尔-阿拉吉宣布此事的几天前,伊拉克政府一名代表向福克斯新闻数字频道发送了一份声明:“总理阿里·法赫莱赫·阿尔-扎伊迪表示:所有政治力量完全同意推进将武器管控权收归国家的进程,相关移交武器的机制正在制定中,这项工作将彻底完成。”
扎伊迪在巴格达对话会议上同时表示:“所有政治力量都同意推进确保所有武器均处于国家管控之下的进程,并制定武器移交机制。没有任何军事对抗的意图或前景,我们不会允许伊拉克的敌人利用任何机会。武器脱离国家管控会创造不利于投资的环境,这是不可接受的,因为它不符合伊拉克人民的利益。”

今年5月,美国财政部制裁了伊拉克石油副部长阿里·马阿里吉·阿尔-巴哈德利,根据制裁声明,他“利用职务之便协助转移石油以谋取伊朗政权及其在伊拉克的代理武装组织的利益”。财政部长斯科特·贝森特当时表示:“伊朗政权就像一个流氓帮派,正在掠夺本应属于伊拉克人民的资源”,并补充道“伊朗军方利用伊拉克石油资助针对美国及其盟友的恐怖主义活动,财政部不会坐视不管。”
8月底,阿联酋《国家报》报道称,“伊拉克反腐败机构宣布,石油副部长阿尔-巴哈德利因腐败被判处7年监禁,并被处以数百万美元的罚款。
针对伊朗批准伊拉克油轮通过霍尔木兹海峡的报道,前美国大使、中东问题分析师阿尔贝托·费尔南德斯声称:“伊拉克石油的部分收益将用于支付伊朗在伊拉克政府薪资名单上的伊拉克武装组织/死亡小队的费用。”
伊拉克政府发言人驳斥了费尔南德斯的言论,向福克斯新闻数字频道表示:“这并不准确。”

美国国务院发言人向福克斯新闻数字频道表示:“在阿尔-扎伊迪总理的领导下,伊拉克开启了新的方向,并与美国全面合作。正如特朗普总统在主持阿尔-扎伊迪总理具有历史意义的7月14日访问时明确表示的那样,美国强烈支持他为所有伊拉克人民打造更光明未来的愿景,使其免受恐怖主义威胁,防止伊拉克境内及来自伊拉克的袭击,并建立牢固且互利的美伊伙伴关系。”
恩蒂法德·坎巴尔是乔治·W·布什政府时期伊拉克副总理的前发言人,他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道:“我们都曾希望阿里·阿尔-扎伊迪总理能对武装组织采取果断行动,尤其是在他访问白宫并获得特朗普总统的广泛赞誉之后。我一直持怀疑态度,非常怀疑,但我认为他值得一试。”
坎巴尔补充道:“最初,包括‘正义联盟’和‘阿里伊玛目旅’(已被美国制裁)在内的一些武装组织只是发表声明称他们将交出武器。没有任何可靠证据表明他们真的解除了武装。”

坎巴尔声称,“伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队圣城旅指挥官伊斯梅尔·加尼访问巴格达后,仅剩的希望进一步破灭。据多份报道,他指示武装组织领导人放缓任何解除武装的讨论,拒绝9月30日的最后期限,并保留武器,作为伊朗更广泛的区域威慑战略的一部分。”
当被问及伊拉克政府解散人民动员单位的努力时,华盛顿特区新线研究所高级非常驻研究员伊丽莎白·楚尔科夫告诉福克斯新闻数字频道:“伊拉克政府确实在努力。它确实采取了一些行动。不幸的是,由于武装组织极其愿意对本国人民,包括安全部队使用武力,政府发现自己在这些武装组织面前退缩了。”
她指出:“武装组织已经渗透到大多数国家机构……我们多次看到国家退缩的情况。”被美国列为恐怖组织的伊朗支持组织“真主党旅”于2023年绑架了楚尔科夫,并将其作为人质关押了近两年。特朗普政府于2025年促成了她的释放。
人民动员单位的实力在伊拉克政府最近遭遇的一次挫折中得到了体现。

阿尔-亚库比被逮捕几天后,他被转移到人民动员部队情报部门。坎巴尔表示:“阿尔-亚库比长期参与针对伊拉克活动人士的暴力行动,许多人认为他的逮捕是政府终于愿意对抗有权势的武装组织人物的重要信号。看似重要的进步却变成了重大挫折。”

US-backed effort to disarm Iraq’s Iran-linked militias hits setback, experts say

New Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaidi met President Trump earlier this summer at the White House

Trump says US no longer needs troops in Iraq
President Donald Trump says Iraq is ready to stand on its own without U.S. troops, while Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi says armed groups outside state control will have “no justification” after the coalition mission ends.

The Trump administration’s push to compel the new Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to dismantle pro-Iran terrorist militias is moving forward — even with some setbacks.
As Mideast experts are taking a wait-and-see approach tinged with mild optimism, a senior Iraqi official announced in late August that Baghdad will not treat Sept. 30 as a deadline to disarm the pro-Iran groups known as the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), also called the Popular Mobilization Forces.
The Iraqi government is seeking to exercise control over the rogue state-affiliated militias with a strategy to integrate them into the state apparatus. The radical Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who leads Saraya al-Salam armed group, said in May that he favored integration. Some of the more hardline pro-Iranian regime militias, like Kataeb Hezbollah and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, declared that they will not disarm or integrate into the state.
The official, Qasim al-Araji, security advisor to the prime minister, told Al Iraqiya on Aug. 23, “Sept. 30 is the date for the international coalition to depart, not the deadline to hand over weapons.” The international coalition is the U.S.-led force that defeated the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria during President Trump’s first term. It is unclear why Iraq’s government is walking back the disarmament deadline for the PMU.

A spokesman for the Iraqi embassy declined to comment on the mixed messaging from Iraq’s government and on the timetable for dissolving or integrating the PMU.
Just days before al-Araji’s announcement, a representative of the Iraqi government sent Fox News Digital a statement: “Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi: All political forces fully agree on moving forward with restricting weapons to state control, and work is underway on mechanisms for surrendering weapons and bringing this issue to a complete end.”
Al-Zaidi told the Baghdad Dialogue Conference at the same time that “all political forces agree on moving forward to ensure that all arms remain under state authority and on developing mechanisms for the handover of weapons. There are no intentions or prospects of any military confrontation, and we will not allow Iraq’s enemies to exploit any opportunity. The presence of weapons outside state authority creates an environment that discourages investment, which is unacceptable because it does not serve the interests of Iraqis.”

In May, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Ali Maarij Al-Bahadly, Iraq’s deputy minister of oil, because he, according to the designation, “abuses his position to facilitate the diversion of oil to be sold for the benefit of the Iranian regime and its proxy militias in Iraq.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said at the time, “Like a rogue gang, the Iranian regime is pillaging resources that rightfully belong to the Iraqi people,” adding “Treasury will not stand idly by as Iran’s military exploits Iraqi oil to fund terrorism against the United States and our partners.”
In late August, the UAE’s The National paper reported that “Iraq’s anti-corruption body announced that deputy oil minister, Al-Bahadly, was sentenced to seven years in prison and fined millions of dollars for corruption.
Reacting to reports that Iran approved passage of Iraqi oil tankers via the Strait of Hormuz, Alberto Fernandez, former U.S. ambassador and Mideast analyst, claimed that “the profit from that Iraqi oil goes, in part, to pay for Iran’s own Iraqi militias/death squads on the Iraqi government’s payroll.”
An Iraqi government spokesman dismissed Fernandez’s comments, telling Fox News Digital, “That is not accurate.”

A State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Iraq has embarked on a new direction under the leadership of Prime Minister Al-Zaidi in full partnership with the United States. As President Trump made clear when he hosted Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s historic July 14 visit, the United States strongly supports his vision to ensure a brighter future for all Iraqis free from terrorism, to prevent attacks in and from Iraqi territory, and to deliver a strong and mutually beneficial U.S.-Iraq partnership.”
Entifadh Qanbar, a former spokesman for the deputy prime minister of Iraq during the George W. Bush administration, told Fox News Digital: “We were all hoping that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi would take decisive action against the militias, especially after his visit to the White House and the widespread praise he received from President Trump. I was always skeptical, very skeptical, but I believed he deserved a chance.”
Qanbar added, “Initially, some militias such as Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Kataib Imam Ali (sanctioned by the U.S.) merely issued statements claiming they would hand over their weapons. There has been no credible evidence that they have actually disarmed.”

Qanbar claimed that “any remaining hope was further diminished after IRGC Islamic Republic Guard Corps Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani visited Baghdad. According to multiple reports, he instructed militia leaders to slow down any discussion of disarmament, reject the September 30 deadline, and maintain their weapons as part of Iran’s broader regional deterrence strategy.”
When asked about Iraqi state efforts to dismantle the PMU, Elizabeth Tsurkov, a senior non-resident fellow at the New Lines Institute in Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital, “The Iraqi government is trying. It genuinely carried out some moves. Unfortunately, because the militias are extremely willing to use force against their own people, including against security forces, the government finds itself in a position of backing down in the face of these militias.”
She noted, “The militias have penetrated most state institutions… and you see repeated situations of the state backing down.” Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed group designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization, kidnapped Tsurkov in 2023 and held her hostage for nearly two years. The Trump administration secured her release in 2025.
The power of the PMU was demonstrated in a recent setback for the Iraqi government.

Both Qanbar and Tsurkov cited the case of the Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (CTS), which arrested Abbas al-Yaqubi, the head of intelligence for the Popular Mobilization Forces’ Baghdad Belt Operations Command.

A few days after al-Yaqubi’s arrest, he was transferred to the PMU intelligence branch. Qanbar said: “Al-Yaqubi has long been involved in violence against Iraqi activists, and many viewed his arrest as an important signal that the government was finally willing to confront powerful militia figures. What seemed like a significant step forward turned into a major setback.”
