Urgency: Context · Evidence: Attributed claim

Shafaq reports that Haider Ali Sultan has taken up Iraq’s ambassadorial post in Bulgaria, after receiving credentials from Iraq’s president on October 27. The outlet explicitly describes Sultan as Feyli Kurdish. Its account does not establish a new bilateral agreement or policy change.

What the sources establish

Shafaq is the sole inspected appointment account; no independent credentials document or assumption-of-duty date was located. The timestamp is its explicit UTC publication minute, not the October 27 credentials ceremony. The canonical Fayli Kurds label follows the report’s explicit identity description.
