Shafaq News/ A demonstration was launched in the capital, Baghdad, on Friday, by supporters of Shiite factions, to protest against the “interferences” of the United States in Iraqi affairs and its “threat to liquidate their leaders.”
Shafaq News agency reporter said that hundreds of supporters of the Shiite factions gathered at the gate of the Green Zone from the side of the suspension bridge, in protest against what they said were “the interventions of the US ambassador to Baghdad in Iraqi affairs.”
The demonstrators chanted, “God is great, God is great, America is the great Satan.”
The demonstrations also witnessed the participation of the representative of the Sadiqoon Hassan Salem bloc and the representative of the Saud Al-Saadi rights bloc.
Earlier today, Friday, a security source told Shafaq News agency that more than 3,000 security personnel had arrived at the US embassy, in anticipation of a demonstration by some Shiite factions, in protest against an American report published by “Middle East” newspaper, in which it said: America is planning to target some Leaders of the Shiite armed factions in Iraq.
It is noteworthy that supporters of the Iraqi Shiite factions affiliated with the Popular Mobilization Forces stormed, at the end of 2019, the outer wall of the fortified US embassy headquarters in Baghdad’s Green Zone for the first time since its construction after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s regime in the spring of 2003.
The raid took place in protest against the American air strikes that targeted the sites of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, which resulted in the death and injury of dozens of fighters.
