So much for their Shia Islamic Khalifa. Nothing but wasting billions of dollars of Iranian treasure to the detriment of Iran to feed tribal nomads. So much for Javan Mardaneghi!

Protesters have torched the Iranian consulate in the southern Iraqi city of Basra amid large protests against corruption and lack of basic services.

Crowds in the streets of the Shia Muslim-majority city chanted against Iranian influence on Iraqi politics.

A protester was killed and 11 more wounded during clashes with security forces.

It is the fifth day of violent protests in the country's second city, with at least 10 people killed.

Officials announced a curfew at about 21:00 local time (18:00 GMT).

Iran, the region's main Shia power, has fostered ties with Iraq's Shia majority since Saddam Hussein's downfall.

But the Iranian consulate is just another public building protesters associate with the government in Baghdad, analysts say.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Bahram Qassemi, condemned the "agitated" attack, saying it had caused "considerable material damage".

All embassy staff are thought to have left the building before it was torched, Iranian media report.

In Thursday's protests, demonstrators burned local government buildings and political offices and forced the closure of Umm Qasr, the country's main sea port to the south of Basra.


On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said he would speed up the release of funds intended to improve basic services in Basra.

Iraq's most senior Shia figure, Ayatollah Ali Sistani, blamed the unrest on political leaders and called for a new government "different from its predecessors".

Anger in Basra has grown over the lack of jobs, electricity and safe drinking water, with hundreds taken to hospital after drinking contaminated water.

Local residents say the government is corrupt and has allowed infrastructure to virtually collapse in the region that generates much of Iraq's oil wealth.

al-Abadi is the worst PM Iraq could have, better to have Nikki Halley as PM of Iraq to expose how corrupt and disloyal to the Iraqi people the puppet government is. Al-Maliki and Sadr are far better, for they would be friendly and loyal to Iran. al-Abadi is obedient to the occupation forces.

After the summer fiasco, I would pull all Iranian funds from Iraq.

Now we are living at Mr Ruhani's era and I think this clip belongs to Mr Ahmadinejad's era . Mr Ruhani was the best person west could support to be Iran's president at the time of election.
Mr Ruhani right now is not very popular president compared to election time . does it means his backers ( the west ) are losing their share in our society too ? Who and what ideology will replace western influence ? :rolleyes:

unfortunately Mr Hitchens is not alive today to see what's going on at U.S . I would be glad to know his opinion now !

@Kastor I thought we'd bring the conversation here so we don't derail the other thread.

Short answer, foregin lobby is legal in the U.S. as long as you register yourself as such. Also you can hire a PR firm to put commercial on TV telling people the Iran deal was good,

Sure it's legal, but that doesn't mean it would be allowed. They called a few reddit posters part of an "Iranian influence operation", imagine what they would do if we used PR firms and lobbies? It just wouldn't fly.

Rohani asks people of Iran to economize while the ruling class plunder national wealth and stuff the pockets of their families at home and abroad.
