Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of the "Shiite National Current," emphasized the necessity of boycotting products that support the Zionist entity and Americans, stressing that this should be done peacefully. In response to a question about his advice on the boycott of products, Sadr stated that the boycott should be "peaceful" through refraining from buying, selling, or using these goods, and not through violence as some parties do, which he suggests aims to destabilize Iraq for personal and party gain. This appears to be a subtle reference to the actions of certain factions in recent months against American-branded restaurants.
