Iran Press/ Iran News: Last Monday, Moqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the Sadrist movement, announced his decision to withdraw from politics, bringing Iraq into a new phase of the conflict.
Afterward, the rioters supporting Sadr's movement attacked some government buildings in the Green Zone of Baghdad. The conflict between these people and the Iraqi security forces resulted in the death of 30 people and the wounding of 700 others.
The statement noted that by expressing satisfaction at the return of peace to Iraq and praying for forgiveness for the dead, and wishing health to the injured in the recent incidents, the Islamic Republic of Iran appreciates the patience, wisdom, and tact of the Iraqi government and nation and all legal institutions of the country in overcoming great sedition.
