US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Iraqi protesters has every right to have a sovereign country without Iran’s constant interferences in their local issues. 

He has condemned a recent wave of violence in Najaf where seven people were shot dead and said that Iraqis have a right to “demonstrate for a government free of Iranian influence.”

“We strongly condemn the violence in Najaf. Peaceful protesters must be allowed to demonstrate for a government free of Iranian influence without facing death and violence. The government must bring the killers to justice,” Pompeo tweeted.

At least seven protesters were shot dead suffering bullets in the head or chest, according to medical teams in Iraq. Dozens more were reportedly wounded last week.
