Dubai, Mar. 20 – Iraqi prayer leaders and tribal leaders in the Iraqi city of Fallujah issued a joint appeal to the people of Iraq calling on them to boycott Iranian goods in response to the “murder of thousands of Iraqi Sunnis” for which they hold Tehran accountable, a Kuwaiti daily reported on Sunday.

The clerics and tribal leaders strongly condemned Iranian meddling in Iraq while rejecting possible upcoming talks between the United States and Iranian officials over the situation in Iraq, the daily al-Siasa wrote.

“Iraqi political forces including Sunnis and secular Shiites strongly rejected talks between the U.S. and Iran over Iraq and described it as ‘legitimising’ the Iranian regime’s meddling in the their country’s internal affairs”, it reported.

“Clerics and tribal leaders from the city of Fallujah called for a boycott of Iranian goods and a halt to such purchases because of Iran’s blatant meddling in Iraqi affairs”, it said.

The joint appeal noted, “The Iranian regime has had a hand in the murder of thousands of Iraqi Sunnis and is directly responsible for death squads which are killing Iraqis”.

They accused Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of creating sectarian divisions in Iraqi society.
