Iraqi Government Aims to Disarm Militias by Mid-2027 as Regional Tensions Simmer
Newsquawk ·
According to an Iraqi official cited by Al Jazeera, the administration in Baghdad has formulated a strategy to disarm all armed factions by the middle of 2027. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is expected to present this roadmap to US President Donald Trump during their upcoming bilateral meeting in New York. Meanwhile, amid ongoing regional turmoil, the leader of the Houthi movement asserted that Saudi Arabia acts as a subordinate to the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel, further accusing Riyadh of committing war crimes throughout the conflict in Yemen. In a separate development reported by Axios, two US officials revealed that President Trump considered launching military strikes against Houthi targets over the weekend before ultimately deciding to postpone the action for the time being.

DYAX 전담 분석
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the possibility of military conflict surrounding the Houthi rebels are amplifying concerns over crude oil supply disruptions. In particular, the Yemen situation and the Iraqi militant group issue act as direct factors increasing cost burdens for the shipping and aviation industries.
In a bullish scenario, energy-related assets may benefit from crude oil supply instability, while in a bearish scenario, the spread of geopolitical risks could deal a blow to the global stock market and logistics sectors such as aviation and shipping. Crude oil price volatility and local military trends in the Middle East must be closely monitored.
