***So far, 488 people have been killed and more than 900 wounded in the offensive***

Almost all the killed, wounded and the forgot to mention captured was from Sadr's Militia. Sadr and Iran knew the jig was up. If Iran stops shipping weapons as had to have been agreed on then this Sadr stand down will have effectively split the Iranian Persian Shiites with the Iraqi Arab Shiites.
