It is common knowledge that #Iran-backed militias, such as Hashd al-Shaabi (PMF), played a large role in this crackdown.
#Iraq
More footage of the crackdown in #Iraq

My take:
The Iraqi government is using tactics mirroring those of #Iran's regime to quell protesters and maintain power.
Diywaniya, southern #Iraq
Voice says these are Iranian vehicles transferring members of #Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) into Iraq.
