According to Alhurra, citing Iraqi security sources, Iraqi intelligence has begun an inventory of Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) headquarters and weapons in the outskirts of Baghdad, under the direction of the Prime Minister. The objective is to identify potential unauthorized sites or locations used by armed factions for economic interests. This operation coincides with extensive measures taken by the Prime Minister in Babil province, including the dismissal of nine senior security and administrative officials due to their involvement in oil smuggling from the Jurf al-Sakhr area. Iraqi Interior Ministry intelligence reports had previously confirmed that oil theft from pipelines in the area had been occurring since 2021 under the control and protection of an armed faction.
