The Iraqi parliament remained at a standstill locked in a political deadlock that showed no signs of easing. Lawmakers continued their boycott refusing to attend sessions as long as the popular mobilization forces services and retirement law remained off the agenda. Behind the scenes the Coordination Framework…had been leading the boycott…This has been going on since the start of 2025. Without enough members present to reach a quorum the country’s legislative process has stopped. The mounting frustrations is enabling a new debate, should Iraq hold early elections? Should parliament be dissolved?
