MNT GOAT: 🚨 PMF Law Could Turn Iraq Into Iran’s Puppet State — US Issues Major Warning 🇺🇸🇮🇶

🧠 Highlights:

🔥 The U.S. State Department warns Iraq: legalizing the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) will undermine Iraq’s sovereignty and threaten the U.S.-Iraq security partnership.
🛑 The PMF, originally formed to fight ISIS in 2014, is largely made up of Iran-backed Shiite militias. Though rebranded, they remain under Iranian influence.
⚠️ The Iraqi parliament has already completed two readings of the bill. A final vote is expected after Arbaeen on August 14.
🧨 If passed, the law would fully legitimize the PMF as an official military force in Iraq, but still loyal to Iran—not Iraq’s own Commander-in-Chief.
🇮🇷 U.S. officials say this move would entrench Iranian influence and empower designated terrorist groups like Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq.
🤯 Many see this as a direct contradiction: Iraq demanding U.S. respect for its sovereignty while legally allowing Iran’s armed presence to shape its future.
