Claim
Badir al-Fahl
Correction

This governor name is outdated. Salah al-Din’s official governor is Haitham al-Zahwan, not Badr/Badir al-Fahl.

Full reasoning

The article’s infobox lists “Badir al-Fahl” as the governor, but Salah al-Din’s own official website now repeatedly identifies Haitham al-Zahwan as the governor.

Recent posts on the governorate’s website say, for example, “Governor of Salah al-Din Mr. Haitham al-Zahwan” and describe his official meetings and directives in that capacity. Independent reporting also states that Haitham al-Zahwan was elected governor on February 19, 2026, after former governor Badr al-Fahl left the post to become a member of parliament.

So this field is not current: the governor is no longer Badr/Badir al-Fahl.

Claim
Ammar Jabr al-Jubouri
Correction

This listed governor is incorrect. Salah al-Din’s official governor is Haitham al-Zahwan.

Full reasoning

In the Provincial government section, the page names Ammar Jabr al-Jubouri as governor. Current official sources do not support that.

Salah al-Din’s official governorate website repeatedly identifies Haitham al-Zahwan as the sitting governor in 2026. Separate reporting on the 2026 leadership change says Haitham al-Zahwan was elected governor on February 19, 2026, replacing former governor Badr al-Fahl after al-Fahl became an MP.

That means the officeholder listed here is outdated/incorrect for the current provincial government.

Claim
Ahmed Abdel-Jabbar al-Karim
Correction

This council chairman listing is outdated. Salah al-Din’s provincial council chairman is Adel al-Sumaidaie.

Full reasoning

The page lists Ahmed Abdel-Jabbar al-Karim as Provincial Council Chairman, but current reporting and the governorate’s official website identify Adel al-Sumaidaie as the chairman of the Salah al-Din Provincial Council.

On the official governorate website, recent coverage of meetings in 2026 refers to “the Chairman of the Salah al-Din Provincial Council, engineer Adel al-Sumaidaie.” Earlier reporting on the formation of the provincial council also states that Adel Abdul Salam al-Sumaidai was elected as the council’s head.

So this named officeholder is not the current provincial council chairman.

Claim
Tarmiyah
Correction

Tarmiyah does not belong in this governorate list. Al-Tarmiyah is in Baghdad Governorate, not Saladin Governorate.

Full reasoning

The article includes Tarmiyah in the list of towns and cities of Saladin Governorate. But administrative sources place Al-Tarmiyah in Baghdad Governorate, not Saladin.

A World Bank / REFAATO project document explicitly describes the site as “Al-Tarmiyah district, Baghdad Governorate, Iraq.” Separate country-guidance material on Baghdad also lists Tarmiya among the districts of Baghdad governorate.

Because Tarmiyah is administratively part of Baghdad Governorate, it should not be listed here as a town/city of Saladin Governorate.
