Iraq’s intelligence agency faces test of political rivalries
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi's decision to directly oversee the country's intelligence agency after dismissing its chief has raised concerns about the balance of power among political factions in Iraq. This move aims to consolidate control amid regional tensions and signals a possible shift away from the historical politicization of sensitive security positions, potentially allowing for a more unified and professional intelligence operation free from party quotas.

Despite past national dialogue initiatives, no effective resolution has been reached, and political analysts suggest that the real decision-making power lies with Iran. The current Lebanese government aims to enforce state control over Hezbollah's weapons, but the implementation of these measures remains uncertain.
