Strange move by US via Al-Hurra channel which issued program criticize the top Shi'ite cleric Ali Sistani at this critical time in #Iraq, this confirms again that US continue its mistake in classifying Iraq's Shiites without any effort to win Iraqi national Shiites from others(1) 
Yesterday,Alhurra issued program on corruption of religious institutions in Iraq. There are 2 govt institutions specialized in Shiite&Sunni, but the program also accused cleric Ali Sistani of corruption. I am not discussing the truth of this or not, but the timing was very bad(2)
(IMPORTANT) While strength of the Iraqi national Shiite trend is growing through Sistani, Muqtada Sadr, Ammar Hakim & even popularly through their lack of interaction with the bombings that targeted PMF recently, factions close to Iran have become increasingly isolated, but...(3)
But the issuance of Alhurra program gave the factions close to Iran a chance they had never dreamed of at this difficult time for them & launched big campaign against US under slogan "US is attacking Sistani" although these factions doesn't really deal with Sistani's decisions(4)
The funny thing is that the program even criticized faction of al-Abbas Combat Division founded by Sistani which declared its loyalty to the govt & its willingness to integrate into ISF & proved not to be involved in human rights violations during the battles against #ISIS (5)
Today, all moderate & hardline Iraqi Shiite parties have come together to make statements against US, Interestingly, the Fateh coalition announced its renewed demand for US troops to leave the country in parliament next week, Fatah position now became stronger with this thing(6)
