Assessment
Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba continue to refuse disarmament before the Sept 30 deadline unless US and Turkish forces leave Iraq, one of ten stated conditions, while Baghdad is reported to be preparing army and Counter Terrorism Service deployments around militia centres. Drones launched from Iraq struck Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline on Sept 10, and the prime minister dismissed the Maysan operations commander and provincial police chief in response.
