Sharaa supports Iraq in limiting weapons and building a strong army

Iraq ·

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said he backs the efforts of Iraq's prime minister to place weapons under state control. He said the two countries face a historic opportunity to build two strong states.

Iraq has long debated armed factions that operate outside state control, many of them linked to Iran's regional network. Damascus, under Ahmed al-Sharaa, has sought to rebuild ties with Baghdad since Bashar al-Assad's fall in December 2024.
