#1 "The Iraqi national security forces are not who is killing the protesters," Shimmari said. "There is a third party killing the protesters, to push protesters to clash with security forces to spread instability in Iraq."

Aren't "Iraqi national security forces" supposed to protect their citizens?

#2 a significant portion of the tear gas grenades used on protesters are manufactured by the "Defense Industries Organization (DIO) of Iran." Shimmari claimed the canisters are not used or purchased by Iraqi security forces.

Well, Ima stumped. Who, oh who, could it possibly be?
