The four presidencies in Iraq will hold an important meeting this evening, Monday, to discuss the issues of restricting the weapons of the factions to the state, the repercussions of the ban on Iranian flights at Iraqi airports, completing the ministerial portfolios, and combating corruption.
The four local leaders are: President Nizar Amidi, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, Speaker of Parliament Hebat al-Halbousi, and Chief Justice Faiq Zaidan.
According to a well-informed source who spoke to Shafaq News Agency, the presidents will discuss steps and mechanisms for restricting the weapons of armed factions during the next phase, which follows the announcement of the end of the international coalition’s presence in two days.
They will also discuss during the meeting the issue of banning Iranian flights at Iraqi airports and the American threat to impose sanctions on any Iraqi airport that receives any Iranian airlines, according to the source.
The presidents will also discuss the issue of completing the ministerial portfolios, in addition to the issue of combating corruption and the need to continue efforts in this regard, in order to correct the course of the financial and economic situation of Iraq during the next stage.
On Sunday, a responsible government source told Shafaq News Agency that Baghdad had received a serious and direct American warning against receiving any Iranian airline at Iraqi airports, stressing that this would expose the airport and the entities and companies that provide services for these flights to “American sanctions”.
The Iraqi government announced last Saturday that it would hold direct talks with the US administration to exempt some Iraqi airports from the ban on Iranian flights.
