US Senator warns: Iraq partition plan resurfaces in Syria
Shafaq News – Wahington / Damascus A territorial partition plan once proposed for Iraq is now being revived in Syria, U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson warned on Wednesday. Describing the renewed push as a dangerous and divisive move, Wilson stated on X that former US President Joe Biden, during his time as a senator, proposed a plan two decades ago to divide Iraq into three separate states. According to Wilson, the idea was rejected at the time due to concerns that it would spark three separate wars, expand Iranian influence, and create space for al-Qaeda to grow. He added that the same proposal is now resurfacing with regard to Syria, calling it 'a reckless scheme' that would lead to widespread instability affecting neighboring countries including Turkiye, Jordan, Iraq, and Israel. Wilson emphasized that the only viable path forward is a unified and stable Syria that includes all its citizens and ensures peace both internally and regionally. When then Senator Joe Biden proposed his plan to divide Iraq into three countries two decades ago I opposed it because it would have only caused three separate wars, empowered Iran, and given an opportunity to al-Qaeda. Today the same ridiculous idea is being proposed for Syria… — Joe Wilson (@RepJoeWilson) August 20, 2025 Earlier, Syrian Transitional President Ahmad Al-Sharaa reaffirmed his government's commitment to the country's territorial integrity, dismissing partition scenarios as highly unlikely and lacking the necessary conditions for implementation.

Iraqi MPs campaign gathers 120+ signatures to advance PMF Law
Shafaq News – Baghdad More than 120 Iraqi lawmakers are pushing to advance the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority Law by collecting signatures to place it on the agenda of upcoming parliamentary sessions, an Iraqi MP revealed on Wednesday. Independent MP Hussein al-Saabri told Shafaq News that First Deputy Speaker Mohsen al-Mandalawi has affirmed the session will be held soon, noting strong parliamentary determination to pass the law during the current term. 'If it is not approved now, there will be no real opportunity to pass it in future terms,' al-Saabri stressed, adding that adopting the law would honor the sacrifices of PMF fighters who battled ISIS and ensure the group's transformation into a formal institution governed by binding legislation, similar to other security agencies. Earlier, MP Ibtisam al-Hilali of the Shiite Coordination Framework confirmed that more than 100 lawmakers had already endorsed a request for an extraordinary session to vote on the PMF Authority Law. The Coordination Framework is pressing for its passage, while Kurdish and Sunni blocs have resisted, linking their positions to unresolved disputes over budgets, oil revenues, and border crossings. US officials have voiced strong opposition, describing the bill as a tool to institutionalize Iran-aligned factions.

Iraqi Parliament to decide fate of 120+ pending bills
Shafaq News – Baghdad Iraq's parliament presidency will soon convene to determine which draft laws reach the agenda, a source from Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani's office revealed on Wednesday. The source told Shafaq News that more than 120 bills remain pending, including the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority Law, warning that if parliament 'fails' to meet next week, all legislation will automatically roll over to the next cycle as the fifth parliamentary term ends in September ahead of the November 11, 2025 elections. Parliament has been paralyzed since August 5, after a dispute between Speaker al-Mashhadani and Deputy Speaker Mohsen al-Mandalawi over chairing authority halted proceedings, leaving key legislation stalled while blocs pivot to campaigning.
