RT · Russia · Iraq arrests 47 officials in pre-dawn Green Zone raid, including a deputy oil minister and thirteen MPs
RT frames the operation as a political performance: 'Iraq's anti-corruption crackdown may be timed to impress Washington ahead of al-Zaidi's US visit.' Directly links the sweep to diplomatic calendar rather than evidence-based law enforcement. Provides the adversarial counter-narrative to official Iraqi and US accounts.
“Iraq's Green Zone arrests may be timed ahead of PM's Washington visit , critics say.”
