Representative of Iran’s Khamenei calls on Iraqis to attack ‘spy den’ US embassy
Such a clever move, guys.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Hossein Shariatmadari, one of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
...the actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
’s representatives, and the head of Iran’s hardline Kayhan newspaper, called on Iraqis to "occupy the US embassy like the Iranians did in 1979," following major protests that gripped Baghdad in recent days.

In an editorial that featured in the newspaper on Saturday, Shariatmadari reiterated accusations by top Iranian officials claiming that the protests were instigated "by America and foreign elements."

Occupying the US embassy in Tehran has had "many achievements" for Iran, he wrote, adding: "Why should Iraq’s revolutionary youth deprive their country of such achievements?"

Supporters of the founder of the Islamic Theocratic Republic and former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini attacked and occupied the US embassy in Tehran in November of 1979, less than a year after the Islamic revolution in Iran.

US diplomats and embassy staff were held hostage for 444 days in an incident, which kick-started US sanctions against Iran.

On Friday, a senior Iranian holy man accused the US and Israel of inciting unrest in Iraq to disrupt Iranian pilgrims from participating in the Shia Arbaeen pilgrimage held in Iraq, according to the Tasnim news agency.

"The enemy is now determined against the Islamic nation, America and Zionism ... are targeting the Arbaeen and Iraq, and causing trouble because it is hard for them to accept the presence of millions [of pilgrims] in Karbala," Tasnim reported Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani as saying.

The protests in Iraq were sparked by chronic unemployment and poor public services, but many protesters voiced their discontent with Iran’s influence in Iraq.

Protestors have reportedly been chanting slogans against Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
for supporting Shia militias and groups who have a stranglehold on Iraq’s politics.

"Foreign elements’ presence is very clear in the latest unrest in Iraq," Shariatmadari insisted, adding that "the citizens [Iraqis] should occupy the [US] embassy because it is a spy den."

Khamenei’s representative said the foreign elements "directed the protests against the alliance between the Iraqi and Iranian governments."

"At the beginning, they [protesters] went out under the pretext of deteriorating living conditions, then they repeated slogans against Iran and the Popular Mobilization Movement."

Many of the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) militias are loyal to Iran, and the PMU’s deputy commander Jamal Jaafar al-Ibrahimi ‐ known by his nom de guerre Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes ‐ is a key Iranian ally. Mohandes is also the leader of Katai’b Hezbollah, the terrorist organization accused of attacking Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
n oil pipelines in May.

On Thursday, Iraq’s foreign ministry summoned Iran’s ambassador to Baghdad to denounce his statement threatening that Tehran would retaliate against an American attack anywhere in the world, including in Iraq.

The ministry statement said Iraqi official Abdul-Karim Hashem told Iran’s envoy, Iraj Masjedi, that American troops are in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi government.

Iraqi protesters have pressed on with angry anti-government rallies in the capital and across several provinces for a fifth day on Saturday, setting government offices on fire and ignoring appeals for calm from political and religious leaders.

The violent deadlock presented the conflict-scarred nation with its most serious challenge since the defeat of ISIS
...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
two years ago and deepened the political crisis of a country still struggling with the legacy of multiple, unfinished wars since the US invasion in 2003.

#4 The big problem is that this would indeed be a clever move.

No sarcasm.

Since 1979 Islamic aggression, Islamic war crimes, the unapologetic violation of rules of international conduct by Islamic entities have been rewarded by the West.

Losing the 9/11 war has consequences.
