\"Muharram,
Protests in southern Iraq<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The people of Iraq turned the Muharram mourning ceremony into another uprising against the Iranian regime\u2019s meddling and its terrorist proxy groups. These protests held in Iraq\u2019s southern provinces with a Shi\u2019ite majority showed the people of Iraq are seriously concerned about the Iranian regime\u2019s deadly presence in Iraq.<\/p>\n

These protests also showed how the Iranian regime\u2019s so-called \u201cstrategic depth\u201d in Iraq has shattered after years of wasting the Iranian people\u2019s national wealth and using Shi\u2019ite Islam to promote and push its warmongering policies.<\/p>\n

The Muharram mourning ceremonies are held to commemorate the third Shi\u2019ite Imam, Hossain-ibn Ali, who fought for freedom and was killed near the city of Karbala almost 14 centuries ago. Now, Iraqi protesters honor Hossain-ibn Ali\u2019s legacy by revolting against the Iranian regime and its terrorist proxy groups, who have deprived the people of Iraq of their desired freedom.<\/p>\n

Protesters held pictures of those slain since the beginning of the Iraqi people\u2019s uprising, which is known as the \u201cOctober Revolution.\u201d They also targeted the Iranian regime\u2019s meddling and activities by its terrorist proxy groups, which have been assassinating activists since the start of the Iraqi people\u2019s uprising.<\/p>\n

These protests during Muharram and in cities with the Shi\u2019ite majority were considered a turning point in the Iraqi people\u2019s uprising, because the Iranian regime had used Shiism and the fact that majority of the Iraqi population are Shi\u2019ite to impose and fortify its deadly rule in Iraq. The mullahs\u2019 regime has tried, through its proxy groups and known agents such as the former Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri-al Maliki, to portray that it enjoys the support of all Shi\u2019ite Muslims. In fact, after the second Gulf War, the regime seized the opportunity to increase its influence in Iraq. Within the last few years, the Iranian regime was able to gradually seize power in Iraq and use this country for exporting terrorism, particularly helping Bashar-al Assad\u2019s regime in Syria.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Iranian regime used its terrorist activities in Iraq against Coalition forces and ordinary citizens as an extortion tool. The Iranian Resistance had previously urged the international community to stand against the regime\u2019s terrorism in Iraq.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s influence in Iraq and its outcome<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iranian regime used its influence to put pressure on members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>. Many MEK members were killed during the attacks by the regime\u2019s terrorists or the army which was under Nuri-al Maliki\u2019s command. Today is the seventh anniversary of the September 1, 2013, massacre in Camp Ashraf<\/a>, Iraq, where 52 unarmed members of the MEK were killed by the Iraqi forces by the order of the Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

The National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) revealed on November 15, 2019<\/a>, that how the Iranian regime\u2019s ambassador to Iraq, Iraj Masjedi, acts as the secret governor of Iraq. According to the NCRI report, Masjedi played a key role in forming Iraq\u2019s Popular Mobilization Force (PMF). He described the PMF\u2019s actions as those of a \u201cforce strictly following the supreme leader,\u201d which has to be at his service and \u201cthe sacred causes of the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d Different IRGC officials, on different occasions, called the PMF \u201cIraq\u2019s Revolutionary Guards\u201d and said, \u201cPopular Mobilization Force is the same as the Basij forces in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMasjedi fully supervised the PMF\u2019s paramilitary troops entering the Sunni zones and massacring their residents under the pretext of fighting ISIS. Human Rights organizations and international media revealed details of these killings,\u201d read the NCRI\u2019s report.
\n\u201cIt is clear that the Iranian regime\u2019s ambassador to Iraq, Iraj Masjedi, is Khamenei\u2019s secret governor of Iraq. And as a top Quds Force<\/a> commander, he is clearly the regime\u2019s most important person in Iraq. Together, these positions provide him with both the authority and the diplomatic cover to order his agents to massacre the people of Iraq when their public demonstrations present a challenge to Iran\u2019s influence,\u201d the NCRI\u2019s report added.<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s influence is gradually waning since the Iraqi people\u2019s uprising began in October 2019, and particularly after the elimination of Qassem Soleimani, the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC)<\/a> Quds Force Commander and the regime\u2019s highest official in exporting terrorism.<\/p>\n

The recent protests in Iraq in Shi\u2019ite provinces with protesters calling for an end to the Iranian regime\u2019s presence in Iraq indicates the mullahs\u2019 so-called \u201cstrategic depth\u201d is about to collapse. To understand the situation better, it is necessary to take note of the fact that the Iranian regime is founded on domestic oppression and export of terrorism abroad. Therefore, the protests in Iraq and recently in Lebanon against the Iranian regime and its terrorist proxy group Hezbollah along with the nationwide major protests in Iran in November 2019 are on the same path and could safely be called a heavy blow to the regime.<\/p>\n
