Hundreds of Iraqis gathered near Baghdad’s Green Zone to denounce U.S. interference in the nation’s internal affairs. Demonstrators marched toward the United States Embassy carrying signs and slogans demanding the preservation of Iraqi sovereignty. While the protest remained largely peaceful, reports indicated some altercations with police officers who blocked protesters from reaching the embassy entrance. The mobilization was sparked by escalating rhetoric between Washington and Baghdad, after President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw U.S. support if former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al‑Maliki were to return to power.
