Iraqi militia flags raised in Iran

Flags of Iraq and the Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) were raised in Iran, an act that has generated significant controversy. The image of the flags, shared on social media, was accompanied by the hashtag "#We are ashamed, martyrs...", suggesting internal criticism or outrage over the display.
