The Iraqi government approves the new conscription law. Why now?

Iraqi Council of Ministers spokesman Hassan Nazem announced on Tuesday that the council had approved a draft law on conscription in the country.

Nazem said at a news conference, after the weekly meeting of the Ministerial Council in Baghdad, that "the Council of Ministers has approved, in principle, the draft law for compulsory military service."

Why is Iraq doing this now?

The Iraqi government understood that the Iranian militias operating in the country and some of them are based on young Iraqi people receiving orders from Iran, is a sure recipe for the destruction of the country and its enslavement to Iran in all areas. Passing a mandatory conscription law in the country would allow the country to "dry up" local militias and prevent them from local manpower and perhaps at the end of the day force them to disband and allow the Iraqi army to be solely responsible for security across the country.

Iranian opposition is expected to pass the law out of a deep understanding of where it will take them and how it will undermine their strategic goals of building a Shiite axis that will be under their absolute influence.
