The leader of the Sadr Movement in Iraq, Muqtada Al-Sadr, on Friday called on the Iraqi federal government and Parliament to vote on a decision to close the US Embassy in Iraq in “support” of the Palestinians.

He added: “If the government and parliament do not respond, we will take a different position that we will announce later.”
Al-Sadr called on his movement’s supporters to: “Adhere to orders, not to act individually, and to avoid using weapons at all.”
