Trampling on US and Israeli flags, the Iraqi demonstrators chanted slogans in support of Iran and praised the country’s help to the Iraqi military and volunteer forces in the fight against terrorism, Press TV reported.
The demonstrators accused Washington of increasingly interfering in the domestic affairs of Iraq and trying to stoke unrest in the country.
The march came a few days after a group of people ransacked Iran’s consulate in Basra and set the diplomatic post on fire.
The Friday attack drew wide condemnation from Iraqi government officials while some blamed it on certain foreign governments who have been seeking to stoke division in Iraq.
