A high-profile fundraising initiative taking place in a glass enclosure has drawn significant backlash from Iraqi social media users, who accuse the organizers of exploiting a humanitarian cause for media promotion and fame. Ali al-Khalidi – Ali al-Khalidi<\/a> (Post Impact: 100%)<\/strong> contrasted the event with YouTuber AboFlah’s previous campaign, which he praised as a “purely humanitarian project” free from political or commercial exploitation, and warned the current organizers, “Do not let any party want to grow at the expense of your fatigue.”<\/em> Other accounts shared this sentiment, with Abbas Al-Ardawi<\/a> (Post Impact: 20%)<\/strong> questioning the initiative’s credibility compared to established religious charities like the Al-Ain Foundation and calling the involvement of certain influencers a “dangerous social deviation.” Both Yasser Eljuboori – \u064a\u0627\u0633\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0628\u0648\u0631\u064a<\/a> (Post Impact: 18%)<\/strong> and Mulla Aboud Al-Karkhi<\/a> (Post Impact: 10%)<\/strong> specifically condemned the participation of poet Shahd Al-Shammari, citing her past controversial remarks about Iraq.<\/p>\n The volatile situation in Syria is a major topic of discussion, with a strong focus on rising sectarian divisions and protests by the Alawite community. Dr. Hussein Al-Safi<\/a> (Post Impact: 65%)<\/strong> claims that the new power in Syria is prepared to relinquish territories like the Golan Heights, unlike the Assad family. Haydar<\/a> (Post Impact: 63%)<\/strong> shared a video from Damascus where a citizen’s chant of “The Syrian people are one<\/em>” was reportedly shouted down by a crowd insisting on “The Sunni people are one.<\/em>” Multiple accounts, including Haydar<\/a> (Post Impact: 32%)<\/strong> and Issam Hussein<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong>, reported on large-scale demonstrations by Alawites protesting what they describe as “massacres and genocides” under the rule of Abu Mohammad al-Jolani. These accounts highlight that security forces opened fire on the demonstrators. Hassan Al-Kaabi<\/a> (Post Impact: 15%)<\/strong> noted that Shiites joined the protests alongside Alawites in Homs.<\/p>\n Significant attention has been given to a new executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump, which directs a process to classify certain branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. ZaidBenjamin Zaid Benjamin<\/a> (Post Impact: 17%)<\/strong> posted a full translation of the White House order, which specifically names branches in Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt for engaging in violence and destabilization campaigns that harm U.S. interests and allies. The order links the Lebanese branch to attacks on Israel alongside Hamas and Hezbollah. Accounts supporting the move, such as Sufian Al-Samarrai<\/a> (Post Impact: 22%)<\/strong>, celebrated the news, thanking President Trump and declaring the “criminal Muslim Brotherhood organization” as officially designated an international terrorist group. Omar Abdul Sattar Mahmoud<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong> also shared reports on the new classification.<\/p>\n A prominent religious and historical debate regarding Fatima al-Zahra, daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, is circulating among Iraqi users. Rusly Al-Maliki \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf6 \u0631\u0633\u0644\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0644\u0643\u064a<\/a> (Post Impact: 56%)<\/strong> urged people to stop discussing the “story of the broken rib,” arguing it is an insult to Ali, Fatima, the Prophet, and Islam itself. He stated, “These individuals are too glorious, purer, higher, and greater than to have their names circulated in these stories.”<\/em> In direct contrast, Dr. Maha Al-Douri<\/a> (Post Impact: 51%)<\/strong> shared a video which she claims shows how the Sunni scholar Ibn Taymiyyah justified the “attack on Zahra’s house.” Meanwhile, Dr. Hussein Al-Safi<\/a> (Post Impact: 20%)<\/strong> commemorated Fatima by highlighting her unique status, saying that “Allah is pleased with her pleasure and angered by her anger,<\/em>” followed by a curse on her “killers.”<\/p>\n A developing story on alleged espionage between Turkey and the UAE has been reported with conflicting details. Citing Turkish news agencies, ZaidBenjamin Zaid Benjamin<\/a> (Post Impact: 36%)<\/strong> initially reported that Turkish intelligence had dismantled a sophisticated UAE spy network targeting sensitive Turkish institutions, including the defense industry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, in a later update citing Independent Turkish, ZaidBenjamin Zaid Benjamin<\/a> (Post Impact: 19%)<\/strong> reported that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office deleted its initial statement implicating the UAE. A revised statement was issued asserting that the arrested suspects have no connection to the UAE. This series of events has highlighted the complex and underlying tensions in the Turkish-Emirati relationship despite recent official efforts to improve ties.<\/p>\n Iraqi and Kurdish political leaders marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women by issuing statements of support for women’s rights. Ammar Al-Hakim | \u0639\u0645\u0627\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062d\u0643\u064a\u0645<\/a> (Post Impact: 46%)<\/strong>, leader of the National Wisdom Movement, posted, “Whoever does not do justice to women in his home and institution cannot build a dignified and cherished nation among nations.”<\/em> In a detailed statement, Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani<\/a> (Post Impact: 18%)<\/strong> reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to defending women’s rights, stating that protecting them is a key pillar for building a free, just, and advanced society. He called for collective will, strong laws, and social awareness to combat all forms of violence and discrimination.<\/p>\n A planned concert by singer Mohammed Abdul Jabbar in Basra has ignited a fierce debate pitting religious conservatives against advocates for social freedoms. Rusly Al-Maliki \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf6 \u0631\u0633\u0644\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0644\u0643\u064a<\/a> (Post Impact: 38%)<\/strong> claimed the opposition was a form of “blackmail” rather than a genuine religious objection and shared what he alleges is an extortion message sent to the artist. In a similar vein, Tamara Alkhazraji \ud83c\udf53<\/a> (Post Impact: 27%)<\/strong> contrasted the protests in Iraq with the social scene in Iran, where she claims people celebrate freely. Conversely, Raad Hashim<\/a> (Post Impact: 14%)<\/strong> shared statements from the director of Khamenei’s representative office in Basra, who declared that Basra is a “Husseini Islamic city” with no place for such “forbidden” activities. Sheikh Mohammed Al-Basri<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong> also condemned critics of the protesters, connecting them to supporters of the Jolani regime in Syria.<\/p>\n Speculation and leaked details regarding the selection of Iraq’s next prime minister are circulating widely, indicating deep divisions within the Shiite Coordination Framework. According to Ali Farhan ali farhan<\/a> (Post Impact: 37%)<\/strong>, during a heated meeting, Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq leader Qais Khazali proposed Basim Al-Badri for the role, but Nouri al-Maliki vehemently refused, allegedly stating: “Basim is useless to us, I personally asked him to ‘eradicate’ Alia Nassif before the elections and he didn’t dare do it.<\/em>” Ali Farhan ali farhan<\/a> (Post Impact: 15%)<\/strong> also reported that the Framework agreed to drop a condition that the candidate must not lead a parliamentary bloc, a move seen as clearing the way for al-Maliki’s own candidacy. Hussam Alhaj<\/a> (Post Impact: 18%)<\/strong> confirmed al-Maliki is among the candidates and questioned if the process is a genuine selection or merely a facade to mask their internal disputes.<\/p>\n The Independent High Electoral Commission has disqualified Muhannad Al-Khazraji, a winning candidate from the Badr Organization, after it was proven that he had established a “phantom brigade” within the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) for electoral gain. Shaho Al-Qaradaghi<\/a> (Post Impact: 15%)<\/strong> and Yasser Eljuboori – \u064a\u0627\u0633\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u062c\u0628\u0648\u0631\u064a<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong> both reported on the commission’s decision to nullify his votes and remove him from office. Ahmad Abdul Sada<\/a> (Post Impact: 14%)<\/strong> praised the decision, accusing Al-Khazraji of committing fraud by deceiving young men with false promises of PMF jobs in exchange for their votes and thereby exploiting the “sacred” title of the PMF. He called on the Badr Organization to publicly disavow Al-Khazraji. Ali Farhan ali farhan<\/a> (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong> expressed astonishment at how such a “phantom brigade” could be established within the official structure of the PMF.<\/p>\n Residents of Baghdad are expressing alarm over thick smog and poor air quality that has enveloped the city. Rusly Al-Maliki \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf6 \u0631\u0633\u0644\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0627\u0644\u0643\u064a<\/a> (Post Impact: 23%)<\/strong> posted images of the polluted skies over Baghdad and Tehran, asking if these environmental issues are not “messages from the sky.” Sharing a video of the dense haze, Dr. Salah Al-Arbawi<\/a> (Post Impact: 22%)<\/strong> dubbed the city the “capital of smoke” and questioned the burning smell in the air. Ameer aldaami<\/a> (Post Impact: 10%)<\/strong> provided a technical explanation, stating that satellite data shows high concentrations of toxic CO gas caused by fires at waste dumps and factories on the city’s outskirts, which were then carried by winds into the city center. He sarcastically attributed the problem to the “government of services.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Based on a Miqrab AI analysis of 483 X \/ Twitter posts trending on November 25, 2025, the primary narratives in Iraq revolve around sharp criticism of a high-profile “glass room” charity fundraiser, which many users view as a self-promotional stunt rather than a genuine humanitarian effort.
