The Information Agency / Baghdad –
Ali al-Fatlawi, a leader in the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, revealed on Sunday that US forces are supplying the Peshmerga with heavy and advanced weapons, the details of which remain unknown. He emphasized that the Kurdistan Region possesses systems that may not be available to the federal air defense forces or some branches of the Iraqi army.
Al-Fatlawi told the Information Agency, “The Kurdistan Regional Government continues to impose a complete blackout, as political forces and even the federal government in Baghdad lack any accurate information regarding the nature of the Peshmerga’s armament, their actual numbers, or the quantity and type of these weapons.”
He added, “The government and political blocs are obligated today to take a firm and genuine stance to address the issue of the number of these forces and to understand the mechanisms for using these advanced weapons that are flowing into the region without the approval of the central government.”
He pointed out that “Erbil continues to categorically refuse to integrate the Peshmerga forces into the federal Ministry of Defense,” warning of “the danger of this continued defiance against the state’s military establishment.”
