Qabbanji criticizes pressure on Iraq and warns against compromising its relations with Iran

Najaf, Iraq ·

In his Friday sermon in Najaf, Friday prayer leader Sadr al-Din al-Qabbanji called for an official Iraqi position on what he described as Israeli aircraft violating Iraqi airspace. He also urged Saudi Arabia to review its stance on the war in Yemen, and Kuwait to review death sentences issued against religious scholars.

Najaf is one of the main centres of Shia religious scholarship, and its Friday sermons are closely followed across Iraq. Iraq has tried to balance close ties with its neighbour Iran against its relations with the United States and Gulf states.
