Iraqi cleric orders six month freeze of militia attacks
Muqtada al-Sadr directed the Mahdi Army to suspend attacks on U.S. and coalition forces for up to six months to overhaul the group. The move aims to distance himself from Iranian backed factions while revealing doubts about his grip on Shiite militias. Critics call it a tactical maneuver with unclear on the ground impact amid clashes in Karbala and broader south Iraq power struggles.
