AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Iraqi Politics: More than 20 MPs have quit Sudani’s alliance after a cabinet vote fight, deepening the scramble around Ali al-Zaidi’s still-partial government and leaving key posts—especially defense and interior—stuck in factional dispute. IMF Talks: Iraq is reportedly seeking IMF and World Bank financial help tied to the Iran-war fallout, with discussions ongoing over how much funding is needed and how it would be structured. Kurdistan Tensions: Kurdish lawmakers are signaling a possible withdrawal or boycott from Baghdad over delayed federal salary payments, warning salaries are being used as political leverage. Security & War Claims: Fresh reporting alleges a secret Israeli base in Iraq’s desert tied to the Iran campaign—an explosive claim Baghdad has been pushing back on as the new government takes shape. Energy Pressure: With the Strait of Hormuz still unstable, Iraq is cutting crude prices sharply to keep exports moving, while the region races to reroute supply.
