How US pullback in Iraq could benefit Iran

Iraqi Shia Muslim leader Muqtada al-Sadr on Wednesday called for early elections overseen by the UN, in a rare news conference outside his home in the southern city of Najaf.
Iraq is expected to hold early parliamentary elections this year, a central demand of an anti-government protest movement which erupted in 2019 and backed by al-Sadr’s supporters.
Appearing in a surgical mask and traditional clerical robes, al-Sadr warned against further delays.
“Delaying the elections would be a disaster for Iraq,” said al-Sadr, warning that rival parties would try to rig the vote.
“I don’t want fraud. That’s why I’m asking for UN intervention and supervision,” he said.
