Editing Badr Organization (section)

== Scientific evaluation ==
The [[German Institute for International and Security Affairs]] (SWP) recognized a rise in the Shiite Badr organization since 2014 under the leadership of its Secretary General Hadi al-Amiri. In 2017, SWP wrote that the Badr organization is one of "the most important actors in Iraqi politics". It has become the most important instrument of Iranian politics in Iraq. Its aim is "to exert the greatest possible influence on the central government in Baghdad and at the same time to build the strongest possible Shiite militias that are dependent on Iran". The foundation compared the role of the organization with that of [[Hezbollah]] in [[Lebanon]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Badr Organization|url=https://www.swp-berlin.org/publikation/the-badr-organization-irans-instrument-in-iraq|access-date=2021-12-25|website=Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP)|language=de-DE}}</ref>
