Iran Press/ Middle East: Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammed Al Halbousi will submit his resignation on Wednesday, the legislative body's agenda shows.
It comes after nearly a year of political deadlock that followed a bitterly disputed election result and mounting violence.
The agenda, published by its media office, says politicians will vote on Mr. Al Halbousi’s resignation.
At 41, he is one of the youngest leaders on Iraq's fragmented political scene. Mr. Al Halbousi's Taqqadum party made significant gains in last October's election.
