AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Anti-Corruption Crackdown: Iraq’s “Dawn Crackdown” is in full swing after the government reaffirmed Sept. 30 as the deadline for surrendering unlicensed weapons and launched mass arrests in Baghdad’s Green Zone, with PM Ali Al-Zaidi saying there will be “no red lines” and no immunity for anyone stealing public funds; lawmakers, officials, and businessmen are among those detained, while courts and investigators report major asset seizures, including a former tax chief and his wife sentenced for money laundering and investigators seizing $11 million tied to a detained deputy oil minister. Political Backing: Iraq’s Sunni National Political Council and Badr lawmakers publicly backed the campaign, while tribal leaders in several provinces said they will withdraw protection from corruption suspects. Regional Diplomacy: Iraq and Syria agreed to form joint committees to boost energy, water, agriculture, transport, and border cooperation after Damascus talks, as Iraq’s FM also met Syrian interim leadership. Iran-Iraq Tensions & Talks: Iran denied US-Iran Doha meeting claims but said an expert team will pursue release of Iranian assets; meanwhile, Iran reportedly pressured Baghdad over Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in Kurdistan. Khamenei Funeral Logistics: Iraq approved Iran’s request for a July 8 funeral itinerary in holy cities, with Karbala and Najaf officials confirming Arbaeen-style public arrangements. Energy & OPEC Pressure: Iraq’s push for a bigger OPEC quota is driven by revenue pressures from the Iran war and export disruptions, raising the risk of a new clash inside OPEC.
