Iraq's Federal Court throws out lawsuits on Kurdistan salaries
Iraq's Federal Supreme Court on Monday dismissed two lawsuits concerning the disbursement of salaries in the Kurdistan Region, citing a lack of jurisdiction in both cases.
The first suit (No. 107) targeted Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Finance Minister Taif Sami, demanding a ruling to keep employee salaries in the Region insulated from political dispute and the current agreement between Baghdad and Erbil.
A second lawsuit (No. 104), also against Minister Sami, sought to compel the federal government to release monthly payments to public servants, retirees, families of martyrs, and recipients of social support—regardless of disagreements over the Budget Law or other related issues.

Iraq's Foreign Ministry dismisses leaked ambassador list as 'inaccurate'
Shafaq News – Baghdad Iraq's Foreign Ministry has rejected widespread reports and leaked documents claiming to reveal its latest list of ambassadorial nominees as false and misleading. In a statement issued on Monday, the Ministry stressed that the lists do not reflect the official selections or the candidates' true qualifications. It accused certain political actors of exploiting the issue for 'electoral and personal purposes,' including individuals who failed to meet the selection criteria and are now attempting to discredit the process by publishing forged résumés and false information. 'These efforts aim to undermine the credibility of Iraq's diplomatic corps and disrupt the institutional selection process,' the Ministry warned, emphasizing that the evaluation was carried out by a high-level committee over two years using strict, objective standards. بيان صحفي بشأن قائمة السفراء – وزارة الخارجية العراقية — وزارة الخارجية العراقية (@Iraqimofa) August 4, 2025 The backlash follows the circulation of names—some reportedly tied to influential political figures—for ambassadorial and attaché roles. Critics, including members of parliament, have questioned the transparency and legality of the nominations. More than 100 MPs have endorsed a proposal to amend the Foreign Service Law to restrict external appointments, while legal experts argue the government has already exceeded the 25% limit for non-diplomatic nominees. The Ministry clarified that half of the proposed candidates are veteran diplomats with ranks such as Minister Plenipotentiary or Counselor. The rest include qualified individuals from academic, social, and national backgrounds. By contrast, a 2009 appointment round included over 90% external nominees, compared to a significantly more balanced distribution today. The need to fill vacant posts, the Ministry added, has grown urgent. Only 27 ambassadors are currently in service, 11 of whom have reached retirement age, with five more set to retire by 2026. Meanwhile, 94 foreign missions, 18 departmental posts, and 4 Deputy Minister positions legally require ambassador-level leadership—leaving a gap of more than 90 positions. To reassure the public, the Ministry affirmed its commitment to fair representation, national balance, and competence, confirming that 62% of nominees hold postgraduate degrees, 23% are relatives of martyrs, political prisoners, or employees dismissed for political reasons, and 64% come from public sector backgrounds. The remainder includes academics, civil society professionals, and political figures—all vetted for integrity, qualifications, and alignment with transitional justice principles. The Ministry concluded that bolstering Iraq's diplomatic corps is essential to defending the country's interests and people amid intensifying regional and global challenges.

Massive combat surge rocks Russia-Ukraine fronts
Shafaq News – Moscow / Kyiv Russian and Ukrainian forces escalated military activity over the weekend, reporting rising casualties, intensified drone attacks, and sustained shelling across multiple fronts. Russian sources told TASS on Monday that 'several dozen' civilians were killed in the city of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk People's Republic, citing close-quarters combat and a wave of FPV and 'Baba Yaga' drone strikes. They noted that while initial civilian deaths often stemmed from direct encounters with Ukrainian troops, most recent fatalities result from increasingly frequent drone warfare. Russia's Ministry of Defense reported downing 61 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 18 over the Black Sea, 12 in Voronezh, and 11 in Crimea, with additional interceptions in Belgorod, Volgograd, Bryansk, Rostov, Moscow, and Ryazan. In Volgograd, drone debris sparked grassfires and shattered windows near Frolovo's Archeda train station, briefly disrupting rail service, though no injuries were reported, according to Governor Andrey Bocharov. Meanwhile, Ukraine's General Staff recorded 183 combat engagements in the past 24 hours, concentrated along the eastern and southern axes, while Russian forces launched over 65 airstrikes, 4,300 artillery shells, and 2,400 kamikaze drones, targeting Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Ukrainian troops reportedly pushed back repeated assaults in Vovchansk, Kupyansk, Lyman, and Toretsk, with 22 separate ground offensives reported in the Novopavlivka sector, though no clashes were noted near Huliaipole or Orikhiv. Kyiv claimed its counterattacks destroyed or damaged eight Russian armored vehicles, 28 artillery systems, 85 military trucks, and shot down 77 drones, estimating Russian troop losses at 1,010 in the past day.

Iraq delays vote on PMF law amendments amid US opposition and internal Shiite divisions
Shafaq News – Baghdad/ Washington Efforts to pass new amendments to Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority Law have stalled due to deep political divisions and explicit opposition from the United States, raising expectations that the legislation will be postponed until the next parliamentary term. A political source told Shafaq News that the revised law, initially slated for a vote during the current legislative cycle, will be delayed amid unresolved disagreements within the Shiite bloc over the force's future role and command structure. 'The current draft seeks to formally integrate the PMF into Iraq's armed forces under a hierarchical military leadership,' the source explained. 'However, influential factions within the PMF oppose this model. Without political consensus, the law is likely to be deferred or negotiated through political trade-offs in the future.' The delay follows recent remarks by Parliamentary Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, who confirmed that the United States has clearly expressed its rejection of the bill in its present form. Political sources also told Shafaq News that Washington is applying diplomatic pressure to block the legislation, fearing it would solidify the PMF's autonomy from the Iraqi army and confer legal legitimacy on factions the US designates as terrorist groups. This aligns with a statement released by the US State Department following a recent phone call between Secretary Marco Rubio and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. In the statement, Washington voiced 'serious concern' about the draft law, warning that such legislation would 'entrench Iranian influence and armed militias, undermining Iraq's sovereignty.' The controversy unfolds nearly nine years after Iraq's parliament first passed the original PMF law in November 2016 in response to the Islamic State's takeover of Mosul and large swaths of the country. That law, however, lacked structural detail, prompting some political factions to push for a comprehensive overhaul defining the PMF's place within Iraq's security apparatus. The PMF was established in mid-2014 by government decree following a fatwa by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani urging volunteers to defend Iraq. Thousands of fighters from pre-existing Shiite armed groups joined under the PMF umbrella.
