In a mysterious mission, Al-Halbousi disappears from sight and leaves the country.

A source in Anbar province revealed on Tuesday that Mohammed al-Halbousi, head of the Progress Alliance, has disappeared from public view amid reports suggesting he has traveled abroad on a mission whose details remain unclear.

The source told Al-Maalomah News Agency that “al-Halbousi left Anbar for Jordan to meet with senior Jordanian officials, in the presence of American officials and leaders from the former Ba’ath Party. His trip is expected to include visits to Turkey and Gulf states to discuss the formation of a new government aligned with the Trump administration.”

The source added that “al-Halbousi held secret and unannounced talks with officials in the Trump administration and Gulf states before heading to Jordan, without disclosing the results,” noting that his movements were characterized by complete secrecy. The source
explained that “influential figures in the central government were aware in advance of al-Halbousi’s visit to establish a long-term political partnership with the United States, the Gulf states, Turkey, and Jordan,” confirming that al-Halbousi traveled overland from Anbar via the Trebil border crossing.

This visit coincided with Israeli-American bombing of Anbar cities, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of security personnel and civilians, adding further ambiguity to the timing and purpose of the mission.
