🇮🇶 Fistfights broke out on the floor of Iraq's Parliament today as lawmakers voted to confirm the new cabinet
14 of 23 ministers were approved before the session was suspended mid-brawl.
The Prime Minister they were fighting over, Ali al-Zaidi, was backed by pro-Iranian Shiite factions and has received support from Trump.
The U.S. and Iran are at war. Both backing the same man in Baghdad.
🇺🇸🇮🇶 Iraq’s next PM? Trump just pushed Ali al-Zaidi for the top job
And now, Iraqi lawmakers have all but confirmed al-Zaidi, who's a businessman and former banker.
So we can all expect a HUGE shift coming to Baghdad.
