Iraq Supreme Court says dismissed powerful parliament speaker

Iraq's top court said on Tuesday it was dismissing parliament speaker Mohamed al-Halbussi, an influential Sunni Muslim politician, after a lawmaker's complaint over the alleged "falsification" of a document. Halbussi has been the highest ranking Sunni official since he first became speaker in 2018 of parliament -- elected with the support of Iraq's powerful pro-Iran parties. He was reelected as speaker in January 2022 following early parliamentary elections the previous October.
