Ali Al Zaidi sworn in as Iraq's PM after parliament endorses most of his cabinet picks

Ali Al Zaidi sworn in as Iraq's PM after parliament endorses most of his cabinet picks

Iraq has a new Prime Minister, Ali Al Zaidi, ending months of political deadlock. His government faces major challenges: balancing pressure from the US to curb Iran-backed militias and from Iran to maintain influence, all while tackling a severe economic crisis due to blocked oil exports. Despite his lack of political base, he's received early diplomatic backing from both Washington and Tehran. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/05/14/iraqi-parliament-votes-on-thursday-in-key-step-towards-installing-government/

Early backing from both sides? That's promising, at least.

Good luck to him. Balancing Washington and Tehran is like walking on a razor.
