Iraq is facing a “purge storm” targeting 3,000 high-ranking employees affiliated with “factions” by order of Washington

 

Baghdad - One News                                                     5/25/2026

 

Al-Mada newspaper reported that Iraq is bracing for a storm of changes that could affect some 3,000 high-ranking employees affiliated with armed groups, if Washington rejects Iraqi mediation aimed at freezing what is known as the de-Baathification process.

 

The newspaper added that the Shiite forces have gradually begun to contain the media exchanges between the parties of the coordination framework, but this calm seems temporary, amid political assessments that suggest a return of tension as soon as the American response regarding the Iraqi proposals arrives.

 

According to Al-Mada, Baghdad submitted a proposal to Washington that included monitoring the movement of the factions for three months, before making any decision regarding dissolving those groups or dismantling their influence within the country.

 

The newspaper confirmed that Baghdad is still waiting for the American response after the Eid holiday, to find out the future of the factions and their influence within state institutions.
