Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani confirmed that drugs are the first threat facing Iraq, and most of our borders face smuggling.

He said in a meeting with representatives of a number of Iraqi satellite channels: We set the goal of confronting the drug phenomenon by targeting dealers who have moved to the stage of establishing drug factories.

He added: We seized tons of drugs and arrested many dealers, and the judiciary contributed to resolving many cases, noting that the drug battle requires everyone to come together.

He continued: We are currently conducting a legal review to examine two options: either establishing an independent drug control Agency or creating a special agency in the Ministry of Interior to combat drugs, indicating that there are institutions concerned with treating addiction and five centers have been established for that.
