The official pointed out, "The blocs rejecting Zorfi are not satisfied with the position of Al-Sadr, who recently translated his desire for Zorfi to go to parliament, and in case he fails to pass his government there, it will be better to talk about an alternative to him, so I started to put pressure on Parliament Speaker Muhammad Al-Halbousi to disrupt the session. Parliament, until the Shiite blocs announce their position on the nomination of Al-Kazemi.”
