In demonstrations that took place on Friday in towns and cities across the nation, including Baghdad, Al-Baghdadiya TV reported protestors were chanting ‘Iranian regime out, Baghdad be free’.
In city of Samera, demonstrators hurled shoes at portraits of Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and in Tekrit they showed their hatred of the mullahs’ dictatorship by burning the Iranian regime’s flag.
Al-Rafeddin TV also reported that Nouri Al-Maliki’s former National Security Advisor Muvafagh Al-Rubaie had described the rallies as sending an electric shock through Iraq’s political leaders and had given them a ‘golden opportunity’ to change policies.
Al-Rubaie – ironically viewed by many in Iraq as an Iranian agent – also said Prime Minister al-Maliki’s relations with the Arab world had been a complete disaster and added: “The government looks at its foreign affairs through Iranian regime’s spectacles.”
