In its report, the newspaper "analyzed" the effects of the resignation of the Sadrist MPs, and predicted what the next phase would look like, based on its views on a number of specialists, including[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/4047234845/%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B5%D9%84 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A/ar/]Faisal Alasthrabadi[/url], director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Indiana University, and[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/814634390/%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%A9 %D8%B3%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%85/ar/]Randa Selim[/url]She works at the Middle East Institute in Washington.
In the text of the report, the newspaper says, "Seven months of efforts to form a new government in Iraq witnessed turmoil last Monday, a day after the powerful Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr directed his members of parliament loyal to him to resign from the seats they won in the October elections." .
She notes that "Al-Sadr, who has become one of the largest political forces in Iraq since his appearance in 2003, has no official role but leads the largest bloc in the 329-seat parliament. 73 lawmakers from his movement submitted their resignations on Sunday after months of negotiations collapsed.

On Monday, Sadr's candidate for prime minister said,[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/3894897303/%D8%AC%D8%B9%D9%81%D8%B1 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D8%AF%D8%B1/ar/]Jaafar Al-Sadr[/url], who is the cousin of the Shiite cleric and currently the Iraqi ambassador to London, said in a Twitter post that he was withdrawing his candidacy.

Al-Sadr said in a statement, "This step is considered a sacrifice for the sake of the homeland and the people to save them from an unknown fate." He added, "If the survival of the Sadrist bloc constitutes an obstacle to the formation of the government, then all representatives of the bloc are ready to resign from Parliament."
Al-Sadr's announcement was the culmination of months of political paralysis that highlighted the dysfunction of the Iraqi political system and the fragmentation of multiple Shiite political blocs. These divisions among Shiites have replaced sectarian tensions between Sunni and Shiite groups in the past years as a major source of Iraqi instability.
She continued: "It was not immediately clear whether the resignations were just a negotiating tactic on the part of al-Sadr or a real break with parliamentary politics. But his withdrawal and his announcement of closing most of the Sadrist movement's offices across the country raised fears that he might replace political negotiations with destabilizing street protests - It's something I've used before as leverage."
“With the Sadrists seemingly out of the actual political process, their history is that when they don’t get involved in politics, they take to the streets,” he said.[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/4047234845/%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%B5%D9%84 %D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AF%D9%8A/ar/]Faisal Alasthrabadi[/url]Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Indiana University. "The question is: Are they in official electoral politics, or do they take to the streets with their weapons?", according to the American newspaper.
And it indicated, "Al-Sadr, who presents himself as an Iraqi nationalist, is considered the Shiite political leader least associated with Iran. His withdrawal opens the door for other Iranian-backed parties to make progress in forming a government."
According to the newspaper, "analysts described the political turmoil provoked by al-Sadr's move as one of the most important and potentially destabilizing developments since the election of Shiite-led Iraqi governments after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein."[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/59559/%D8%B5%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%85 %D8%AD%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%86/ar/]Saddam Hussein[/url].

She added, "Sadr's main Shiite rivals are linked to the Iran-backed militias that were formed in 2014 to fight the Islamic State and are now officially part of the Iraqi Security Forces - although they are only nominally under government control," she said.
“This is a big challenge to the Shiite regime after 2003 because this is primarily a political battle between Shiites,” she said[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/814634390/%D8%B1%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%A9 %D8%B3%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%85/ar/]Randa Selim[/url]She is a fellow at the Washington-based Middle East Institute.

Tehran has tried to prevent divisions among Iraqi Shiite groups that could dilute Shiite influence in a multi-ethnic Iraq or that could allow any one Shiite group to become too powerful.
"There is a great deal of division in the Shiite political spectrum, and Iran has never been able to resolve that," he said.
And he said[url=https://www.alsumaria.tv/Entity/1476662209/%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B3 %D9%83%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85/ar/]Abbas Kazem[/url], a Washington-based senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said that "even if al-Sadr's move led to new elections, it would not fundamentally change the persistent problems in a political system that, since 2003, has relied on the division of power between the various ethnic and sectarian groupings." .
In the opinion of the newspaper, "the resignations themselves will not lead to elections. Instead, the candidates who received the second largest number of votes in October will replace Sadr loyalists in parliament, according to legal experts."

The New York Times wrote a report in which it shed light on the resignation of the Sadrist bloc's deputies from the House of Representatives, and its acceptance by its president, Muhammad al-Halbousi, to put their resignation into effect, according to what legal experts believe.
