Massive crowds of demonstrators took to the streets of Baghdad this morning in one of the largest protests seen in months, demanding an end to the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East and calling for the removal of foreign military presence. The demonstrations quickly grew while security forces tried to maintain order, with clashes reported near the heavily guarded Green Zone.
Pro‑Iranian activists, many still enraged over the recent killing of Iran’s former Supreme Leader, have rallied in large numbers, prompting Iraqi authorities to tighten security around government buildings and foreign compounds.
The unrest has threatened to destabilize Iraq’s fragile political environment at a time when international attention is focused on diplomatic efforts to defuse regional hostilities.
Witnesses described chaotic scenes as demonstrators attempted to breach barricades while security forces responded with crowd control measures. Several arrests were reported, though no official casualty count has been released.
Political analysts fear that continued unrest in Iraq could worsen regional instability and complicate international peace efforts.
