chattels   ​What is missing is a courageous and wise leader who can create such an area of common interest and convince all the parties to gather at one table. To achieve this goal, such a leader would need to be accepted by political parties and protesters, have a good relationship with both Americans and Iranians, and be respected by the religious authority in Najaf.

chattels   The next prime minister should have good relationships with the United States, Iran, and regional powers — including Saudi Arabia and Turkey — and not be involved in any regional political agendas. The candidate should not be someone rejected by the protesters, and acceptable to Kurdish, Sunni and national Shiite parties.

chattels   "Soleimani Is Dead: The Road Ahead for Iranian-Backed Militias in Iraq", this article will ask what happens next to the effort by IRGC-QF and Iran-backed militias in Iraq now that their “central nervous system” has been severely disrupted.

 Even before the killing of Soleimani and al-Muhandis, the latest three months have been very bruising for the militias, both in terms of popular and elite dismay at their counter-protester actions and as a result of U.S. airstrikes. https://ctc.usma.edu/soleimani-dead-road-ahead-iranian-backed-militias-iraq/

chattels   At least four private banks run by militia-controlled businessmen continue to use Central Bank of Iraq dollar auctions to secure hard currency for Iran.

chattels   There is no easy replacement for al-Muhandis and no Soleimani to call to designate a successor and enforce his judgment.

chattels   Getting U.S. forces removed from Iraq by parliamentary action will likely continue to prove difficult in the future. The alternative way of removing foreign forces—striking back hard at U.S. forces—could trigger powerful new blows on militia leaders in Iraq and Syria. More likely, the militias will pepper U.S. bases with a desultory rain of non-lethal “aim to miss” rocket attacks and perhaps even roadside bombings of logistics convoys.

Baghdad- Iraq today:  An informed political source revealed that a semi-final agreement has been reached on one of the candidates for prime minister and will be assigned as soon as the president returns to the country.

"The political blocs have reached semi-final agreements on a candidate for prime minister," the source said, adding that "there is a candidate who has reached the final stages of the agreement."

"Contacts have been made with the President of the Republic regarding him and he is expected to assign him upon his return," the source said, adding that "intensive meetings have taken place over the past three days away from the media."

Earlier last week, a political source ruled out the possibility that the candidate for the presidency of the new government would be out of the names.

"Some sites have said that the candidate to be assigned will be an out-of-the-box name, which is not true and no candidate has yet been put forward outside what has been announced," the source said.

"This crisis is in the process of being resolved and détente as soon as the president of the republic comes from his trip, where the official announcement of the assignment of one of the candidates from the names on the table will be announced and revealed to the public," he said. http://iraqtoday.com/news/36594/اتفاق-شبه-نهائي-على-أحد-المرشحين-وسيتم-تكليفه-فور-عودة-صالح-للبلاد
