It's Iran according to most sources, that control the Iraqi government and hence, over 200, 250 protesters have been shot and killed and I guess, that's really the work of Iran. It's a crazy situation and our troops are in that country.

The United Nations expressed its concern over the rising death toll and injuries during the ongoing protests in Iraq.
“The Secretary-General expresses his serious concern over the rising number of deaths and injuries during the ongoing demonstrations in Iraq. Reports of the continued use of live ammunition against demonstrators are disturbing,†a UN spokesperson said in a statement.
“The Secretary-General urges all actors to refrain from violence and to investigate all acts of violence seriously. He renews his appeal for meaningful dialogue between the Government and demonstrators,†the statement added.
So, Iran might be talking about Saudi Arabia but they could be talking about Iraq too. If Iran treats these protesters like this, they might do anything.
