Muqtada Al-Sadr, the leader of Iraq's Sadrist movement, announced on Sunday that his parliamentary bloc failed to form a national majority government, noting that his bloc has turned into the opposition, and will make way for other blocs to form a government.

Al-Sadr tweeted that he is "honored" to have the largest parliamentary bloc in Iraqi history and to be able to rely on himself and not be a follower of foreign powers. He also added that he is facing increasing pressure on both the domestic and foreign fronts.
