Dispute between Baghdad and Kataib Hezbollah escalates: smuggling investigations open new clash over weapons and influence Baghdad, Iraq · 2026-11-12 09:22 · Politics · Developing · 2 sources
A leaked arrest warrant against the son of a Kataib Hezbollah leader accuses him of leading an armed group that spreads terror. It came a day after the group demanded an investigation into the wealth of people close to the prime minister. The dispute over disarmament is increasingly about money as well as weapons.
Kataib Hezbollah is an Iran-backed armed faction in Iraq that is part of the Popular Mobilization Forces, and the government's efforts to bring armed groups under state control have been a recurring source of tension.
