Shafaq News/ On Friday, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, called on the federal government and Parliament to vote on a decision to close the United States Embassy in Iraq to “support” the Palestinians.
Al-Sadr said in a post on the “X” website, previously Twitter, “I call on (the Iraqi government) and (the Iraqi parliament) with all its groups and orientations, for the first time and for the sake of public and not private interests, to vote on closing the American embassy in Iraq because of the unlimited American support for the terrorist Zionists.” Against Gaza.”
He stressed the need to “protect its (US Embassy) diplomatic personnel, and not be exposed to them by the shameless militias that want to undermine the security and safety of Iraq,” in the event of a vote on the resolution.
Al-Sadr also said, “If the government and parliament do not respond, we will have another position that we will announce later.”
The Shiite leader called on the movement’s supporters to “commit to obedience and not act individually, and to avoid using weapons at all.”
The US Embassy in Baghdad announced in a statement a few days ago the departure of non-essential employees at the embassy and the US Consulate in Erbil, due to increasing security threats.
The Pentagon reported yesterday, Thursday, that its forces in Iraq were exposed to at least 12 attacks within a week, while confirming that it would respond to these attacks in a timely manner.
