Tensions between Iraq and Israel have increased following the broadcast of an image by Israel's Channel 14, listing prominent anti-Israel resistance leaders targeted for assassination.
The image included Iraq's top Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al- Sistani, marking the first time he has appeared on such a list.
The broadcast has sparked widespread outrage across Iraq, with many officials and citizens interpreting it as a provocation tantamount to a declaration of war.
Channel 14, known for its right-wing alignment and close association with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aired the controversial image as part of its coverage of resistance leaders.
While the channel does not represent official Israeli policy, its broadcast has been seen as a serious affront by Iraq, where Ayatollah al-Sistani is revered as the most influential religious leader.

US is trying to get run out of Iraq. That would be bad for remaining soldiers in Syria and Jordan.
