The protesters were angry about what they perceive as US interference in regional affairs.

The protest was organized by a group of Iraqi political parties and civil society organizations. The protesters chanted slogans such as "God is great, God is great, America is the great Satan," and they carried banners that read "No to US interference."

The protest comes in response to an American report which claimed that the US is planning to target leaders of some armed factions in Iraq. The report has not been confirmed by the US government, but it has angered many Iraqis.

The protesters said that they are against any foreign interference in Iraq's affairs. They called on the US to respect Iraq's sovereignty and to withdraw its troops from the country.

The protest ended peacefully after a few hours. The protesters dispersed without incident. (ILKHA)
