TNT:

Ivantulafitov: Iraq’s parliament elects Abdul Lateef Rasheed as president For months, political rivals have been at loggerheads over who should be the next prime minister and the country's next president:  https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/iraq/2022/10/13/iraqs-parliament-​elects-abdul-lateef-rasheed-as-president/

Norm:  From kadhimi. We congratulate Dr. Abdul Latif Rashid on his election as President of the Republic of Iraq, and we wish him success in his mission, and we call on all political forces to cooperate and provide him with support.

Speedy:  Abdul is new President, Prime Minister next !!!

KaseyKo1:  As I understand it, Rashid appoints the prime minister & he has chosen Sudani.

Ivantulafitov:  11 minutes ago tweet Sinan S. Mahmoud @sinansm · 11m #Iraq: Mr Rasheed immediately just tasked the nominee of Iran-backed Co-ordination Framework for prime minister post Mohammed Shia Al Sudani to form the government

RVAlready:  In the end, all it took for Iraq to get its act together was a threat by the UN to take over the government. Perhaps this is good to be known for next time.

Cutebwoy:  Now we are screwed the white papers plans will now be history IMO ,I SO HOPE NOT

RValready: The white papers were officially approved. They cannot be set aside.

Cutebwoy: rvalready remember what u just said about white papers ,AL Sudani has his agenda which is not aligned with Al kazimi white paper agenda IRAQ changes anything at anytime nothing is set in stone for them , one party agenda is different from the other IMO

RVAlready:  Cuteboy, Iran would be really stupid to mess with the white papers at this point. That would bring Sadr’s folks into the streets, and have the UN very angry. If s Iraq tries to not implement the white papers, international support will be withdrawn

Yada: Get ready folks, we are going to the bank.

RVAlready:  I agree Yada. All we need now is word from the CBI to begin exchanges. The CBI is unlikely to expose the date or give a back wall. They will just spring it on us.

TP40:  I think Sudani will need to do the RV soon to make the people and Sadar happy.. time will tell IMO.. Everyone wins , Once we get the RV

Jiminkc:  The UN and EU and US did not want this. They wanted Kasemi.  So, we wait to see what Sadr, and the citizens who wanted Kasemi, will do.  The ball is back in Sadr/citizens' court.

Ivantulafitov:  I'm guessing the banks will be on high alert starting now

RVAlready:  The framework will do nothing to jeopardize Iran’s position. Iraq will RV, Iran will RV, and all will be well.
