My correspondent, in baghdad, Mahmoud Abdullah hart my mode, so the death toll is rising. Bring us up to speed with whats been happening fully. Its getting quiet right now. And as you can see right behind me, its it a, b, the curfew is in place right now. The curfew that has started 7 p. M local time across the country, not only in baghdad or todays violence, her has also reached out to other cities a so the supporters have been reported. The s is protesting in front of government offices in some other promises, especially in southern and it central iraq. Now we have been hearing gunshots every now and then a little a while earlier.

Now the situation, is it come with the possible an exception of a gunshots being heard every now and then we have been also getting reports about to set a slam slam brigades that a souther military wings have been deployed in the area. This is an escalation, as you know that both ravel factions have military wings on the ground. Feet is rising, that if these at ray val military wings get involved heavily or afterwards as you know, open to it tomorrow, tomorrow there is a session expected to at the Supreme Court to be held to handle a plea submitted by us, other demanding get the parliament at be a dissolved so up it remains to be seen whether or not this escalation will continue, especially with our civil b several. So the support has been were killed in todays clashes, dozens injures whether or not this alarm brigades or the military wings f. Its also not that a souther will stay cult oh for thank you for that update my mood, hampton. Why hard live in bank that as we can still hear the sound of gunfire. Theyre behind.

The departure of american troops and is against the wrongs influence. His movement swept to victory, neck in elections in october last year, winning 73. 00 seats. But after months of failing to form a government, he ordered his em piece to resign in june. And his supporters have protested in central baghdad since july and briefly occupied parliament. While its now speak to marcin ow shamarie, whos a Research Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy schools, middle east initiative. Shes joining us from halifax in canada. Thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera. As weve heard in our Previous Report is not the 1st time that mocked our father, has announced his quitting politics. His eustace, as a bargaining tool in a way, is that what you think is doing here is this another strategic move . This is pretty much what all iraq analysts, how come to consensus on government for the sellers, just are threatening to, to actually leave the political process in the long term. But he has stolen this before and hes always come back. And he always does this at strategic moments that great before elections. And given this time hes been calling for early elections. It makes sense for the timing, but there is an additional factor that he actually dressed in his statement of resignation that it was in response to the criticism from a, from a religious leader who is closely associated with his own father. Interesting, we heard from our correspondent just a moment ago that sat ours. Our military weighing has now deployed in some areas how dangerous a situation are we facing right now. Every time there is a paramilitary groups that gets involved in any protest movement to the risk of civil war as ignited on or off. And said i a salon as a group that has been in existence for years in iraq. I mean, they were personalization maddie in 2004 and, you know, he actually dissolved about some point and brought them back to, to fi, ice us under a different banner. And given that they have experience, they have arms, they have organization, and its always dangerous to put them in any confrontation of any armed actor, whether its state Security Forces or paramilitary groups. So a Supreme Court is you to meet on tuesday, as weve heard to decide whether they should dissolve parliament, which would be followed maybe by a snap election. Do you see this happening and wouldnt early election resolve this political crisis thats been going on now for almost a year since the last election in october of last year . From my understanding of the constitution, the court doesnt have the authority of his own parliament. The only way that parliament can be dissolved just by them voting themselves out of the job and call them for early elections. And this is something that the court itself has clarified in a statement. One more for the southern 1st asked them to dissolve parliament. That being said, early election seems to be a mechanism to reset the government formation process in iraq. But i think its long term impact on the democratization process in iraq is going to be really harmful because its going to re empower entrenched political parties. And its going to give her archies a sense that they really dont have a say in how and how the electoral process unfolds in their country because it can really be ignited by one unruly on, on an unhappy political figure. What role are external forces playing in this prolonged crisis . I mean, when anyone asks about external forces in iraq, i think they genuinely mean either iran, turkey or the United States. And particularly when it comes to shi, our politics is something that really concerns that iranian american relationships. And that thats where people Pay Attention to a lot. In this case, iran in the United States have actually been more hands off than usual in the government formation process. But today, ah, with the letter that was directed towards milton and southern, from his fathers close, associate grand ayatollah ha, eddie, a criticizing roster. The souther for his position and saying that he is not the bearer of the seller, found the name and really stripping him of a lot of religious authority. There is no clear evidence that this was motivated or driven by the iranian government, but it seems very likely that it was given the timing of the Statement Given the, the rhetoric and the statement and given the dimensions and the statement of how many. So there is an seemingly increasing iranian intervention and shall politics in iraq. But all we can say is that this is just our analysis of the situation. No evidence has been presented right. Okay, so then how do you see this crisis resolving itself . We had a, a guest previously who talked about perhaps external mediation. Would you, would you see that being effective . And if yes, what, what external mediation, where would it come from . In the United Nations is already issued a statement that Emissions Mission in iraq. Im asking for the escalation condemning violence of the like. I generally think that iraq needs to resolve issues on its own and not to lean on International Mediation and International Support every time that faces an issue. And this isnt the 1st time that rock has tutored on the edge of instability. I do think that the resolution will likely come when the iraqi Security Forces called the protest movement. Thats ongoing right now. And i think from what we heard from your correspond that things have started to quiet down a little bit, definitely not resolved. But ultimately, my end up by having the state Security Forces shut down the protest movement along and looked at us. Other thing, hes no longer involved in politics might by us a few months of stability. And thats the best case scenario. Thank you very much for talking to us. Thank you for your insight. Marcin ow, shamar. You can Research Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy schools, beliefs initiative. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Theres plenty more head on this sanchez era.

And what we have seen here is that the, the british era levies and Water Systems that regulate the flow of water that manage this agriculture.

The 2 sides are now exchanging notes from that tax. And what happens next will not only have ramifications for millions of iranians, but well also define everything right. You see the 1st term in office door safari, alpha 0. Now speak to traitor, parsi whos executive Vice President at the Quincy Institute is joining us from rest in virginia in the us. Thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera. And so what was the highlight for you . The main highlights from present tracy speech earlier. What did it say to you about the regimes focus right now . One of the most important inspect states, not only does speech but also much of the messaging of the government for the last week or so. And that they are very not only their own population, but their and higher system or a return, a full return to the j. C, p, the barney dog. And so you never left the agreement the us, but the wrong. Theyre not in compliance at this point. And this is an important signal because youre starting to see a similar type messaging on the us side in which do you, the, by the ministration is also preparing the political system here. Or it returns to be what type of deal do you think they would have renegotiated here when it comes to the new care aspect of it, pretty much what it was before. Theres some changes, of course, because the wagner advanced their program, significant era, both the period in which dropped all out of the agreement. But also during these last 16 months, where the vitamin istation stayed out of the deal and start to renegotiate. Its up to the good, but i think one of the most important things every potentially renewed j with a regional j. C. Ways at this one is coming in to live within a context of strategic context that is not supported of its junior ability. Theres going to be a lot of work needed to be done, asked the deal in order to make sure that that this version of the deal is durable and will not collapse. Yeah, interesting to see what happens in terms of relations with the us. Of course, we heard present tracy in the speech, focus on increasing bilateral ties with china. He said he has no interest in meeting present. Joe biden, for instance. And t, ron seems to be seen working with bay gene as being more reliable than working with the west. What do you make of that . What does it mean for relations future relations with the us . If this deal is revive the nuclear deal . I think it is essential or gone and wash, institutionalize their dialogue, not just for a whole lot of other issues, but also for the very survivability of this jesus. If it renew now, will have him back to see survive what america it will not survive a 2nd. So its critical that they should aside some of these issues and actually established a direct dialogue. Nearly the chinese have been more reliable than the us based on experience that does not. However, me, that he long will be better off with at the us will be better off if they dont use this opportunity to establish a more stable lay of dialogue. What about israel of cause derrick said expressed a lot of concern about the resumption of this nuclear deal. Where would this leave them . Will these really be opposed to disagreement . Not because of a particular details in it, but because they would not like to see the United States in the yvonne into their relation at a time when the israelis believe that improve us relations were not translate into reduction really iranian. And as a result, one potential outcome of this is that if the city ways renew these really may actually increase their attacks on yvonne are there compared to what they had gone to so far, which already has been a pretty high level. So the g q a, while its streaming from a nonproliferation perspective, it will definitely reduce tensions between yvonne and many of the arab states. It may not increase every now the tension between evolving is. Thank you very much for talking to us and for your inside teresa pos, the executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute.
