Speaking to a reporter on Monday, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces for Logistics Brigadier General Mostafa Izadi�said current crisis in Iraq is supported by the US and UK imperialism.
Referring to the Iraqi crisis, Brigadier General Mostafa Izadi�stressed that America and Britain try to benefit from the protests to achieve their goals.
Izadi�added that different factions in Iraq seek to bring favorable conditions for themselves.
Iraq has been the scene of a political turmoil in the past weeks over the efforts of Iraqi Prime Minister�Haider al-Abadi to form a new cabinet.

So the postponement triggered the protests which were organized by Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr�s supporters.
Then, a state of emergency was declared in Baghdad on April 30 after the demonstrators stormed Baghdad�s Green Zone and entered the parliamentary building.
It�is worth mentioning that US is plotting a Velvet Revolution in Iraq, but this�time, not by the Sunnis or the Kurds but by the Shias. Iraqi Shia cleric�Moqtada al-Sadr is also intentionally�or unintentionally helping the Americans to�achieve their goal to overthrow the Shia government which is
approved by Iran.
