Ali Zeydi takes charge of Iraq’s intelligence agency amid regional crises
Iraqi Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ali Zeydi assumed the presidency of the National Intelligence Service on Thursday. Zeydi said the agency must be kept free of party, group and sectarian quotas.
Ali Zeydi assumed the presidency of Iraq’s National Intelligence Service during a visit to the agency’s headquarters. Zeydi also serves as Iraq’s prime minister and commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
Sabah al-Numan, spokesman for the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, announced that the handover took place on Thursday. Al-Numan said the decision was made in line with current challenges and a plan to consolidate sovereignty.
During the visit, Zeydi met with agency directors and serving officers and said the institution belonged to all Iraqis. Zeydi said the National Intelligence Service must be kept free of party, group and sectarian quotas.
Zeydi described the agency as a shield protecting Iraq and praised the missions carried out and sacrifices made in recent years.
Zeydi said he would provide full support to the institution, its officers and personnel, and announced that efforts would be made to meet all of the agency’s needs and develop it through scientific and technical methods.
Zeydi said the crises and wars in the region required greater efforts in every area of security work and called for intensified efforts to defend the country and preserve security and stability.
Al-Shatri’s term brought to an end
Last Monday, Zeydi issued a decision ending Hamid Rashid Faleih al-Shatri’s appointment as president of the National Intelligence Service. No reason was given for the decision.
Al-Shatri was appointed to head the agency in December 2024, during the government of former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.
