WHAT HAPPENED

On 20 October, شفق نيوز published a Middle East Forum assessment alleging that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi had agreed to empower forces aligned with Iran inside government agencies. The institute characterized this as the reverse of Washington’s expectations that he would disarm militias and restore the state’s monopoly on force.
