[1][2] Following pressure from army generals and Nuri al-Said, Prime Minister Jamil al-Midfai resigned on 24 December 1938.
The plot was linked to Bakr Sidqi's loyalists; al-Said used the incident to carry out a purge of army officers and leftist groups.
The dismissed Parliament was reconvened, and Queen Aliya bint Ali testified that it was Ghazi's desire to appoint her brother 'Abd al-Ilah as regent.
[1][2] Al-Said remained Prime Minister and succeeded in introducing regulations that gave the executive branch more power.
At the beginning World War II, the al-Said government severed relations with Germany, removed German officials from Baghdad and allowed British forces to use Iraqi lands in accordance with the Anglo-Iraqi treaty.
However, al-Gaylani was forced to resign by the regent and al-Said, and a more moderate government was formed by Taha al-Hashimi on 3 February 1941.
