U.S. Approves Factional Involvement in Al-Zaydi Government
The Iraqi government, led by Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi, completed its formation after more than five months in office, incorporating members linked to armed factions allied with Iran, including Deputy Prime Minister Laysh al-Khazali from Asaib Ahl al-Haq. The government obtained unofficial approval from the United States to allow the participation of armed factions designated as terrorist organizations, in exchange for promises not to target American interests in Iraq. This formation comes amid widespread regional changes and heightened tensions between the US and Iran, with ongoing unofficial negotiations with armed factions that refuse to relinquish their weapons. The government affirms that this arrangement enhances its capacity to manage national issues, despite protests from some parties, such as the Communist Party, which criticized sectarian quotas and the overlap of authorities.
