Bazmedia notes, "In fear of potential threats, several leaders and high-ranking figures from Hashd Shaabi and the Iraqi Islamic groups have fled to Sulaimani, where they are finding refuge. The city has provided shelter for them."
The delayed response to events in the region has generated significant criticism. The expectation for an immediate and unanticipated reaction did not materialize, allowing advisers and high-ranking officials associated with certain actions to find refuge and escape before any counteraction took place.
The decision not to directly address certain developments has also sparked criticism, with some arguing for more decisive actions targeting specific groups within Iraq.
