❗️According to sources who spoke to Al-Akhbar UN Special Representative for Iraq, Mohammed Al-Hassan, visited Iraqi cleric Ayatollah Ali Sistani, to request him to issue a fatwa (an Islamic legal ruling) to dismantle the PMU. Sistani reportedly refused to receive him.
The Iraqi government has received multiple requests from international and regional parties to dissolve the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) and hand over their weapons to the state.
The PMU have said that they will not disarm until the complete withdrawal of US forces from Iraqi soil.
In the aftermath of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the PMU participated in operations against Israeli and US military targets, under the name of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
The PMU was formed in 2014 after the Iraqi cleric Ayatollah Ali Sistani issued a fatwa calling on Iraqis to volunteer alongside the Iraqi army against ISIS militants who had taken over nearly the entire country and were projected to take Baghdad if left unhindered.
