Government working closely with parliament to fill cabinet posts: Iraqi PM
Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi said in a news conference Wednesday that his government is working closely with the parliament to fill the remaining ministerial vacancies. He said that no administrative vacuums have been generated in the executive and that all positions will be filled in the coming days. “Iraq will support neither Iran nor the US in their conflict,” he added, referencing concern among some that his government would favor one or the other. The second set of US sanctions targeting Iran’s energy, financial, and shipping sectors took effect Monday, November 5. Eight countries received sanctions waivers: China, India, Greece, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey, and South Korea. According to Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, Iraq was not among the countries receiving a waiver.
