Al-Zaidi has been PM for four days. In that time: drones launched from Iraqi soil hit Saudi Arabia, his oil minister confirmed an 89% export collapse, Trump and Xi agreed Hormuz should open but no one is making Iran do it, and his cabinet is still half-empty. The May 27 session — where Interior and Defense get decided — is the next critical date. Until the
militia ministry question is resolved, Washington holds the dollar tap closed.
