A visit by the commander of Iran s Quds Force to Baghdad led to a pause in attacks on U.S. troops by Iran-aligned groups in Iraq. The ruling Shi ite coalition in Iraq opposes attacks on U.S. forces. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, including Kataib Hezbollah, has claimed attacks on U.S. forces.
The ruling coalition in Iraq has started drawing up the political scene that will be established from the upcoming parliamentary elections, three sources told Asharq Al-Awsat. Asharq Al-Awsat received a copy of a study, completed by the ruling Coordination Framework alliance, that showed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani will emerge with a powerful coalition that makes up a third of Shiite seats in parliament. The elections are expected to be held in 2025, but no official date has been set for them yet.
