Iraq parliament approves al-Zaidi’s cabinet amid growing economic concerns

Iraq’s parliament completed the formation of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government by approving 11 vacant cabinet posts and three deputy prime ministers. Nayef al-Shammari was named defence minister and Yasir al-Maliki interior minister, while a vote on the migration and displacement minister was postponed amid party disagreements. One approved deputy prime minister is Laith al-Khazali, a senior figure in the Iran-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq movement, which the United States designated a foreign terrorist organisation. Al-Zaidi said the government must tackle economic and security challenges as Iraq faces severe liquidity shortages linked to the war and reduced oil revenues.

The prime minister called the attack terrorism and vowed to continue operations against the Houthis. Saudi Arabia denounced Houthi attacks on its airports and oil facilities as “full-fledged war crimes,” while France began deploying military assets to protect Saudi energy infrastructure.
