IRGC backed Sadrists who have taken control of the Iraqi parliament building are calling for the execution of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and attempts to break into the green zone of Baghdad are also ongoing.

Iran has long targeted Iraq for complete takeover. Muqtad Sadr himself called on the UN to support him in illegally overthrowing a number of political parties and figures in Iraq.

The situation is moving more and more towards an attempted coup d’état in the government of Iraq, something other Iraqi politicians who are calling for an end to the unrest are very concerned about since Iran will arrest and execute thousands.
