## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Baghdad will move to formalize the announced disarmament and weapons transfers from the Sadrist movement and Iran-aligned militias, forcing Iran and its Iraqi proxies to reassess command channels. Iraqi state security institutions will gain immediate symbolic leverage, while Tehran scrambles to preserve influence through political, economic, and intelligence means rather than overt militias. This shift will embolden Iraqi nationalist factions and could weaken Iran’s overland corridor to Syria and Lebanon if sustained, with knock-on effects for Hezbollah resupply. Confirmation would be government decrees, photographed handovers, and public ceremonies; denial would be rapid walk-backs by militia leaders or reports of hidden arms retention and splinter formations.

## Drivers

- Coordinated announcements by Sadrist movement and multiple Iran-aligned militias to hand weapons to the state
- CENTCOM assessment of unusual rollback of parallel armed power in Iraq
- Ongoing Iran–U.S. coercive bargaining creating incentives for Tehran to appear flexible in some theaters
