In recent days, the people of Iraq have held gatherings in the streets of Baghdad and other cities in the country to protest the new US air sanctions against Iran. These sanctions, which were recently announced, actually reflect the continuation of Washington's hostile policies towards Tehran, and many Iraqis consider this action unfair and detrimental to the relations between the two countries.
