Sistani rep warns Iraqis to remain vigilant despite Iran-Israel truce
Also in Iraq KRG delegation arrives in Baghdad amid efforts to resolve financial disputes Iraq's Victory Coalition to skip election Iraq's marshlands are drying up Two Iraqi delegations to arrive in Erbil to resolve financial disputes with KRG A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The representative of Iraq's highest Shiite religious authority on Thursday urged Iraqis to be cautious because the country is not immune to the consequences of regional tensions as a United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding. 'The current circumstances that the region is going through are extremely dangerous, and the Iraqi people are not immune to the repercussions of the conflict, sooner or later,' said Sheikh Abdul Mahdi al-Karbalai, official spokesperson for Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraqi state media reported. 'Iraqis must arm themselves with awareness and insight in dealing with the serious challenges in the region and passing through the current phase,' he said. 'They must strive to build their country on sound foundations.' Regional tensions remain high as a truce appears to be holding between Israel and Iran, ending 12 days of conflict. Iraq, which is close to Iran and hosts US forces, has expressed concern that further escalation could undermine its fragile post-war recovery. Sistani's office condemned the initial Israeli airstrikes that triggered the conflict, calling them a 'criminal act,' and urged the international community to prevent further bloodshed. The airstrikes killed more than 600 Iranians, including several military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, including women and children. Sistani's office said the attacks demonstrated the 'dangerous and aggressive nature' of Israel's conduct. Twenty-eight people were killed by Iran's strikes on Israel. During the conflict last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not rule out the assassination of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, claiming that his death could end the conflict. US President Donald Trump also made inflammatory remarks against Iran and Khamenei, calling the leader an 'easy target,' though he clarified that there are no current plans to assassinate him. Sistani at the time warned against any attempt to target Iran's 'supreme religious and political leadership,' saying it would have grave consequences for the entire region. Regarding the possibility that the conflict between Israel and Iran could be reignited, Trump told reporters in The Hague on Wednesday after attending a NATO summit that "It can start again. I guess someday it can. It could maybe start soon.'

Iraqi MP: PMF salaries stuck as Qi Card defies payouts
Shafaq News - Baghdad Iraq's Finance Ministry has released the Popular Mobilization Forces' (PMF) salaries, but private payment operator Qi Card is refusing to process the disbursements, a lawmaker revealed on Sunday. In a statement, MP Uday Awad al-Tamimi, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, confirmed that an emergency meeting between the Ministry of Finance and banks is expected to take place to resolve the deadlock. 'Manual distribution may become necessary until an alternative to the electronic payment system is found,' he added. The standoff follows reports that PMF salaries had been suspended abruptly just two days after their scheduled release. The Fatah Alliance, a major pro-PMF bloc led by Hadi al-Amiri, denied that the issue was politically motivated, citing a 'technical problem' as the cause of the delay. The dispute comes amid fresh parliamentary efforts to convert the PMF into a full-fledged ministry, a move its supporters argue is justified given its size—over 300,000 members—and access to budgetary resources.
