"Iran Is Losing Its Grip in Iraq"

This couldn't be further from reality @EliLake, not surprising when Knights is one of your sources.

Fact: The IRGC-QF, Badr, AAH, & Lebanese Hezb support him.

The largest bloc in the COR are the pro-Tehran parties.

Let's break this down:

"Kataib Hezbollah… threatened… (&) the Iraqi Parliament ignored it"

This is the Iraqi Parliament:
Badr, AAH, KIA, HaN supported Kadhimi and they are part of the largest bloc in the COR. The IRGC-QF and LH support Kadhimi & pressured other in the COR.

This is embarrassing, A LOT left out of this article:

The article left out the other 4 (3 of which are designated) militias tied to the IRGC-QF who again, make up the largest voting bloc in the COR - Badr, AAH, KIA, HaN.

Wow, this is stated as fact in this article:

General Othman's new ministry "Was once infiltrated"??

Fact: Badr still owns this ministry & its commander Hadi al-Ameri and leader of the Fatih Party (that Kataib Hezbollah is apart of) supports Kadhimi.

Again, another non-fact stated as fact.

Kadhimi never says Iran and Soleimani in his quoted comments, & the COR and this PM consider the IRGC-QF an official entity.

Without Ismail Qaani, Kadhimi would not be PM.

The Protesters want the new PM to bring new elections - the majority of the country is against any PM this COR approves of - they want it dissolved.

Kadhimi punted approving new elections to the COR, where the largest block is pro-Iran & would lose power with new elections.

Pay attention to what happening on Kadhimi's watch.

Pay attention
