Nearly a month after the uprising began, Iranian regime supreme leader Ali Khamenei entered the scene directly by sending Quds Force commander Qassim Suleimani to Iraq and ordering his mercenaries to open fire on the defenseless people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iraqi capital is divided into two parts, Rasafa and\nKarkh, sectioned by the crossing of the Tigris River. Thirteen bridges connect\nBaghdad\u2019s two divisions. But there are seven main bridges in central Baghdad,\nconnecting the east of the Tigris River to the west, Green Zone. Strictly\nprotected Green Zone hosts government offices and foreign embassies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous of these is the Jomhoori Bridge, which\nconnects Tahrir Square and the Green Zone. Other bridges, such as al-Sennek,\nal-Ahrar, al-Shohada, and Bab al-Mu\u2019azam, are among the bridges that have been\nin the hands of the people so far. During recent days, demonstrators created\nfortifications on these bridges to fend off cruel attacks by security forces\nand Iran-backed militias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"778\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/battle-of-bridges-min.jpg\" alt=\"battle of bridges\" class=\"wp-image-13647\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/battle-of-bridges-min.jpg 778w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/battle-of-bridges-min-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/battle-of-bridges-min-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/battle-of-bridges-min-750x424.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The widespread protests, which increase and intensify every\nday, are the most massive anti-government demonstrations in the history of this\ncountry. Events initially started due to vast poverty and the government\ninjustice, but soon afterward, it became a national uprising against the\nmullahs\u2019 occupying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first week of the demonstration, Iraqi Prime Minister\nAdel Abdul Mahdi, unable to resist in the face of the uprising, announced his\nresignation. But since Khamenei was Iraq\u2019s chief ruler, he immediately sent Suleimani\nto Baghdad, dissuading him from resignation and instead ordering the repression\nof the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Iraq\u2019s children did not succumb to Suleimani\u2019s demands\nand threats. Instead, the demonstrators in al-Tahrir Square and the youths who\ntook over the streets of Baghdad\u2019s east continue to hold their positions\ndespite more than 300 martyrs and 1,500 wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past few days, the battle of bridges in Iraq reached a new dimensions. Khalani Square in Baghdad, like AL-Tahrir Square, was the scene of a massive assault by government agents and mercenaries of the Iranian regime. They intended to occupy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stripes.com\/iraq-protesters-storm-baghdad-bridge-medic-killed-1.606266\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"al-Sennek bridge (opens in a new tab)\">al-Sennek bridge<\/a>. In this regard, the security forces frantically attacked the Iraqi youths, using live ammunition and directly firing tear gas. However, the outraged people never gave up and continued the battle. Worthily, the people still hold the bridge despite some of their comrades losing their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"657\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/al-Sennek-bridge.jpg\" alt=\"battle of bridges\" class=\"wp-image-13646\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/al-Sennek-bridge.jpg 657w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/al-Sennek-bridge-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 657px) 100vw, 657px\" \/><figcaption> al-Sennek bridge <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the officials aimed to control the critical bridges\nlike al-Ahrar, al-Shohada, and push protesters back. But their ingenious\ningenuity defeated against the people\u2019s determination as the bridges remained in\nthe hands of protesters so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now the battle of bridges in Iraq is a historic battle\nthat the people are continuing against the Iranian regime\u2019s occupation and its\naffiliated forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Battle of the Bridges in Iraq is a Symbol of love for\nfreedom, human dignity, and resistance to cruelty and corruption against those\nwho serve the interests of the Iranian regime instead of the Iraqi people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Iran4-x625-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13652\" onerror=\"this.src='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';this.srcset='https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/themes\/hello-elementor\/images\/broken-image-placeholder.gif';\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Iran4-x625-min.jpg 750w, https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Iran4-x625-min-300x228.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption> <em>A poster of Iraq Parliament Speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi (R) and Iran President Hassan Rouhani hang on a building near Tahrir Square, during protests in Baghdad.
