Tens of thousands gather in Iraq in support of Iran

Thousands of Iraqis have gathered for Friday prayers in Baghdad’s Sadr City, chanting against the US and Israel amid the attacks on Iran, according to footage posted online.

Sadr City, also known as Revolution City, is a suburb of the Iraqi capital and has an estimated population of more than one million, mostly Shia Muslims.

The area was named after the populist Shia and militia leader Muqtada al-Sadr, who is known as a close ally of Iran’s ruling religious leaders and a fierce US critic.
