The article from Kurdistan24 discusses the ongoing political and military tensions in Iraq, focusing on the recent developments involving the Coordination Framework (CF), a coalition of mainly Iran-backed Shiite political parties, and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP). The CF has been attempting to consolidate power by influencing the formation of the Iraqi government, particularly through the appointment of key positions like the Speaker of the Parliament. Amidst this, there are reports of military movements by the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), an umbrella group of mostly Iran-aligned militias, towards Kirkuk, which has raised concerns about potential conflict with Kurdish forces. The article highlights the strategic maneuvers by these groups to gain leverage in Iraq's political landscape, the implications for Kurdish autonomy, and the broader stability of the region. It also touches upon the reactions from Kurdish leaders and the potential for escalation if the situation is not managed diplomatically.
