Shafaq News- Baghdad
A senior Iraqi government source denied on Saturday that caretaker Prime
Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani had authorized any negotiations with armed
factions regarding a potential truce.
Earlier, Kataib Hezbollah, the largest party within the Islamic
Resistance in Iraq, outlined five conditions to suspend attacks on the US
embassy in Baghdad for five days, including halting Israeli strikes and
displacement in Beirut’s southern suburbs, US commitment to avoid targeting
residential areas in Baghdad and other provinces, and restricting CIA personnel
to within the embassy compound, excluding the Kurdistan Region.
Arab media outlets had reported that Iraq’s National Security Adviser
Qassem al-Araji was leading talks with armed factions aimed at halting attacks
on three locations, including the US embassy in Baghdad.
The source confirmed to Shafaq News that these claims about official
approval for dialogue on a truce were “not true.”
