Hizbullah-affiliated Lebanese academic Sadek Al-Naboulsi categorically rejected Hizbullah's disarmament in a May 29, 2025 interview on Spot Shot (YouTube). He said that disarming Hizbullah would lead to civil war in Lebanon, and asked whether those calling for this are prepared to sacrifice the blood of their children and people for the sake of Israel and America. Al-Naboulsi said that anyone supporting such calls is 'burning' Lebanon and leading it toward a 'holocaust,' insisting that such change would come through bloodshed. He also questioned why there is talk only of disarming Hizbullah and not Israel, which he called an 'illegal, deadly, and barbaric country.' He asked: 'Why do you want to disarm the most noble resistance movement in the region, but you do not say a single word about the need to disarm Israel?'

PM Al-Sudani: Iraq ready to export 80 local products
Shafaq News/ On Sunday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani announced that about 80 locally manufactured products are now ready for export, highlighting Iraq's expanding role as a regional economic hub. Speaking to tribal leaders during Eid al-Adha celebrations, Al-Sudani emphasized a renewed focus on improving management across various sectors, stressing that ongoing economic reforms aim to reduce Iraq's dependence on oil and accelerate efforts toward diversification. Al-Sudani then outlined Iraq's ambitions through the Development Road project, describing it as a 'transformative initiative' designed to position the country as a key transit route in global trade. The project, he added, seeks to build a 'new Iraq' by enhancing economic connectivity while maintaining an independent political stance on regional and international affairs. In April 2024, Iraq joined Turkiye, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar in signing a four-party agreement to advance the Development Road. This initiative aims to stimulate economic growth, boosting regional cooperation by improving trade flows, simplifying cargo movement, and establishing a competitive transport corridor linking East and West. With an estimated investment of $17 billion, the project is expected to create around 100,000 jobs in its initial phase, with employment rising to as many as one million once fully completed.

Iraqi expert: Turkiye using water as leverage in trade
Shafaq News/ Turkiye is increasingly linking access to water resources with trade flows to Iraq, raising concerns about the potential long-term impact on the country's agriculture, industry, and economic independence, according to Manar al-Obaidi, head of the Future Iraq Foundation. In a Facebook post, al-Obaidi referenced comments by Gursel Baran, chairman of the Ankara Chamber of Commerce, who outlined a shared objective between Baghdad and Ankara to raise bilateral trade to $30 billion annually, with Turkish exports expected to make up more than 90% of the total. While Baran did not provide details on when or where this target was set, al-Obaidi interpreted the figures as reflecting Ankara's growing view of Iraq as a key export market. He also pointed to a shift in the bilateral relationship's framework. The longstanding concept of 'oil for water,' he observed, appears to be evolving into a new arrangement he described as 'imports for water,' in which increased Iraqi imports from Turkiye could influence the volume of water released from Turkish dams. Under this emerging arrangement, al-Obaidi cautioned that Iraq faces limited options: either tolerate reduced water flows, which he described as 'unacceptable,' or increase imports from Turkiye in the 'hope of securing more favorable water releases.' He further urged the Iraqi government to clarify its position by either publicly rejecting the proposed trade target or disclosing details of any formal agreement with Turkiye, if one exists.
