Violent clashes in Baghdad after the 2021 parliamentary election and the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi began the crisis.[2] On 18 November Muqtada al-Sadr said he would like to form a majority government.[3]
On 27 July, supporters of al-Sadr stormed the Green Zone and the Iraqi Parliament in Baghdad.[4]
