AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Iraq’s PM shake-up: Ali Al Zaidi has vowed a “comprehensive” reform plan and a crackdown on corruption, but his government is still missing 9 cabinet portfolios—leaving him squeezed between US and Iran expectations as Iraq tries to form a workable balance of power. Health & aid: VA’s Whole Health program is showing better engagement and outcomes for Veterans, while in Lebanon Iraq’s top Shiite cleric’s office says humanitarian support for displaced families has reached 74,000+ families, including an electronic medical assistance form. Public health watch: Diyala confirmed 4 Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever cases since the start of 2026, with quarantine and livestock controls underway. Environment risk: In Kirkuk, oil slicks are spreading into an irrigation canal, raising fears for crops, livestock, and possible long-term health impacts. Regional pressure: Iraq’s Al Zaidi is also facing mounting external pressure over government balance as tensions around Iran and the US continue to shape the political calendar.
