Baghdad: Iraqi prominent Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr on Saturday called for a closure of the US embassy in Baghdad.
A statement by al-Sadr said that he is concerned about the ‘increase of interventions’ in the Iraqi affairs that aimed at dragging Iraq into the US-Iran conflict including closure of the US embassy in Baghdad.
His statement came few days after Donald Trump decided not to reissue the sanction waivers allowing major importers to continue buying Iran’s oil when they expire in May. (Agency)
