Iraq: Protesters Set Fire in Iran Consulate

Dubai – Masaader News

Iraqi protesters have set fire to Iran’s consulate in the southern city of Najaf amid ongoing anti-government demonstrations, according to BBC.

Protesters chanted “Iran out of Iraq” as flames engulfed the building.

This is the second attack on an Iranian consulate in Iraq this month after the office in the Shia holy city of Karbala was targeted three weeks ago.

Demonstrators accuse Iran of interfering in Iraq’s internal affairs and propping up the government.
