Iraqs Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi issued a decree ordering the countrys Hashd al-Shaabi to fully integrate into the Iraqi armed forces.
Mahdis 560-word executive order briefly outlines a broader and more detailed plan that has been under development for nearly a year.
The plan has the potential to retain strength to the Iraqi army depending on how it is implemented.
Meanwhile, constant defensive attacks by Yemen's Ansarullah on Saudi Arabias Abha airport has taken it out of service in retaliation for constant Saudi aggression on Sanaa.
Ansarullah's retaliatory strikes against military sites in Saudi Arabia succeeds in bypassing the kingdom's US-made air defenses.
