Shafaq News- Baghdad

The Shiite Coordination Framework
(CF), the largest Iraqi parliamentary bloc, has delegated Hadi Al-Amiri, leader
of the Badr Organization, to open negotiations aimed at securing a temporary
truce between Iraqi armed factions and the United States, a source familiar
with the matter told Shafaq News on Sunday.

The discussions, according to the
source, are modeled on last month’s five-day truce declared by Kataib Hezbollah
and extended three times, during which attacks on the US embassy in Baghdad
were halted. Current contacts focus on Kataib Hezbollah and Harakat Al-Nujaba,
two factions within Iraq’s Islamic Resistance (IRI).

The diplomatic push comes as US
airstrikes continue to target sites linked to the IRI and the Popular
Mobilization Forces (PMF), a state-affiliated paramilitary network. In
parallel, IRI-affiliated factions have claimed nearly 450 attacks targeting US
military facilities across Iraq and the wider region, describing the operations
as part of a broader campaign linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
