Urgency: Watch · Evidence: Attributed claim
Iraq’s parliament postponed Thursday’s session until further notice, according to a parliamentary media-office statement reported by Shafaq News. Lawmaker Ali al-Azirjawi told the outlet that bloc leaders wanted committee leadership appointments settled together and had requested a two-week delay. That request is not an announced date for the next session.
What the sources establish
Parliament’s media office is the claimant for postponement; al-Azirjawi gives the bloc-negotiation account. The original announcement and an independent account were not inspected. Midnight UTC represents the October 29 reporting date. The page’s 13:49 UTC stamp belongs to an evolving nominations story; its visible 17:20 update lacks an inspected UTC offset and is not used as the postponement time. The rounded Baghdad marker is representative.
