The bill was considered in the previous version of the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Sunni tribes and the National Guard "states", which allows these entities to receive direct military aid from the United States.
The bill requires foreign ministers and defense the Americans to provide their testimonies, about giving the central government in Baghdad a bigger role of minorities in the political process and management of the country.
According to the legislation if there is no clear political progress by the Iraqi government within three months of the passage of the bill, the United States would withhold military aid, from the central government in Baghdad and will go 60 percent out of 75 percent allocated to Baghdad to Peshmerga forces.
