On 3 November, Sadiqoun bloc deputy head Ahmad al-Musawi (AAH), speaking through Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media), described the Kurdistan Region as the principal obstacle to approving Iraq’s budget. An earlier programme caption attributed to him additional explanations involving newly created ministries and Kurdistan’s share, alongside an allegation that the region owed 12 trillion dinars.
