The development of events in Iraq depends on the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, which is expected to be issued this week on Wednesday, in the lawsuit filed by the “Sadr movement” before it, calling for the dissolution of the House of Representatives elected last October, on the grounds that it exceeded the constitutional deadlines in electing a new President of the Republic. And then assigning a government from the largest parliamentary bloc.

Pending the issuance of the decision, the tone of the political debate receded, which resulted in more calm on the Iraqi streets.
