An analyst reports that the chief of staff for Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani is among the potential candidates being considered for the next Iraqi Prime Minister.

A Member of Parliament has held discussions with Iraqi Prime Minister Sudani regarding the integration of Yazidi fighters into official Iraqi security structures.

Iraqi authorities have arrested suspects believed to be responsible for a drone attack near Erbil that resulted in the death of a French soldier. Prime Minister Sudani confirmed the arrests as investigations continue.

Iraq's Prime Minister Sudani stated that Iraq supports Iran's security and sovereignty but considers attacks from Iraqi territory a violation of sovereignty, undermining Baghdad's efforts to end the war and return to dialogue.
