'''Al-Sadiqoun Bloc''' ({{langx|ar|كتلة الصادقون}}) or just ''Al-Sadiqoun'' is a Shia Islamist political party in Iraq led by Adnan Fayhan Moussa Cheri.
==History== ''Al-Sadiqoun'' (literally the speakers of the truth in Arabic) is a political wing of the Shia Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq ('''AAH'''; Arabic: عصائب أهل الحق ''‘Aṣayib Ahl al-Haq'', "League of the Righteous"), a Shia anti-American group with alleged Iranian patronage.
Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq leader Qais Khazali declared the intention of his group of taking part in the 2014 Iraqi Parliamentary elections as a political bloc under the name of Al-Sadiqoun Bloc. Adnan Fihan Moussa Cheri was named leader of the bloc. Al-Sadiqoun Bloc offered its candidates under electoral listing #218.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eremnews.com/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714195219/http://www.eremnews.com/?id=34779|url-status=dead|title=إرم نيوز | موقع إخباري عربي مستقل|archivedate=July 14, 2014|website=www.eremnews.com}}</ref>
However an electoral meeting of estimated 10,000 supporters of Al-Sadiqoun was marred by violence as a series of bombs exploded at the campaign rally held at the Industrial Stadium in eastern Baghdad killing at least 37 people and wounding scores of others, according to Iraqi police. The Shia group organizers had planned to announce at the rally the names of its candidates for the parliamentary election.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2014/4/25/dozens-killed-as-blasts-hit-iraq-poll-rally|title=Dozens killed in Iraq blasts|website=Al Jazeera}}</ref>
The Al-Sadiqoun Bloc ended up winning just one seat out of the total 328 seats in the Council of Representatives for 2014, with its successful candidate elected from the Baghdad Governorate.
