Shafaq News- Baghdad
Patriotic Shiite Movement (PSM) leader Muqtada al-Sadr on Saturday
praised thousands of protesters who gathered across 12 out of 18 Iraqi
provinces, following his call to demonstrate against the “US-Israeli
aggression” targeting several Islamic countries.
In a speech delivered by his representative, al-Sadr commended the
demonstrators’ “honorable stance,” noting that their presence “pleases friends
and angers enemies.” He also stressed that they had fulfilled their duty, and
concluded with a message of peace for Iraq.
Earlier today, demonstrators assembled at Baghdad, Maysan, Dhi Qar,
Wasit, Al-Muthanna, Al-Diwaniyah, Babil, Karbala, Diyala, and Kirkuk. Speaking
to Shafaq News, Mustafa al-Husseini, a representative of the PSM in Basra,
framed the protests as a call for peace and an end to conflict, describing them
as a message to the international community to help curb escalation and restore
stability.
