The most viral story on Iraqi Facebook is a warning attributed to Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council. Multiple high-engagement pages, including Iraqi Media Center<\/a> (Post Impact: 100%)<\/strong> and 1 News<\/a> (Post Impact: 54%)<\/strong>, shared his statement: “Iraq must know that its turn has come after us.”<\/em> The posts frame this as a direct warning that Iraq could be the next country to face an Israeli attack following the assault on Iran, sparking considerable concern and discussion among Iraqi users about the country’s vulnerability in the escalating regional conflict.<\/p>\n The official response from the Iraqi government to the regional conflict has been a major topic of discussion. The page of Engineer Mohamed Shia Alsudani<\/a> (Post Impact: 30%)<\/strong>, along with The Government Palace<\/a> (Post Impact: 8%)<\/strong> and In Your Service<\/a> (Post Impact: 9%)<\/strong>, reported on a phone call between Prime Minister Al Sudani and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. In the call, Al Sudani expressed Iraq’s solidarity with Iran against the “blatant Zionist aggression”<\/em> and affirmed that Iran’s security is linked to the region’s stability. He also offered Iraq’s readiness to provide all necessary assistance to address the effects of the aggression.<\/p>\n In response to rising regional tensions, several pages reported that Iraq is bolstering its air defenses. Iraqeen W Bas<\/a> (Post Impact: 17%)<\/strong> stated that the Minister of Defense ordered the deployment of “Pantsir” air defense batteries in sensitive areas to protect Iraqi sovereignty. Similarly, Ahmed Al-Washah<\/a> (Post Impact: 22%)<\/strong> reported on the deployment, adding his own viewpoint that while Israel is a “bloody usurping entity,” Iraq will not support the Iranian regime because it backed militias that “shed the blood of Iraqis.”<\/p>\n Beyond official news, Iraqi Facebook pages were filled with commentary and public reactions to the conflict. Taraef Al-Alam bi-Uyun Iraqiyya<\/a> (Post Impact: 26%)<\/strong> shared a video of an Israeli woman confidently stating, “I will not go down to the shelter, I am not afraid of Iran or any human being.”<\/em> In contrast, Dr. Hamid Abdullah<\/a> (Post Impact: 15%)<\/strong> criticized those who downplay Iran’s attack of 300 missiles compared to the 39 missiles Iraq fired in 1991. Meanwhile, Majid Saleem<\/a> (Post Impact: 14%)<\/strong> expressed mockery, saying, “It turns out Israel was a lie, no power or anything, and we have believed it for 77 years.”<\/em><\/p>\n A specific incident over Iraqi Kurdistan was widely covered, detailing the interception of a drone by American forces. Al-Khawa Al-Nathifa<\/a> (Post Impact: 16%)<\/strong> reported that an American defense system shot down an Iranian drone in the sky over Erbil in the Kasnazan area. Iraqeen W Bas<\/a> (Post Impact: 5%)<\/strong> shared a video claiming to show the moment the drone was shot down and exploded.<\/p>\n Multiple pages reported on Iraqi air defense activity in Diyala province, near the Iranian border. Min Baghdad<\/a> (Post Impact: 13%)<\/strong> and Baghdad<\/a> (Post Impact: 9%)<\/strong> both posted that Iraqi defenses were engaging missiles and aircraft of unknown origin in the skies of the province. Diyala TV<\/a> (Post Impact: 10%)<\/strong> specified that the defenses engaged an Israeli aircraft in the al-Mundhiriya area.<\/p>\n Amid the geopolitical turmoil, a post praising a religious figure gained significant traction. The page Ammar Al-Hilfi<\/a> (Post Impact: 61%)<\/strong> shared a video clip of the prominent elegy reciter Sayed Faked al-Moussawi, expressing admiration for his vocal endurance. The caption marveled at his performance, stating, “Sayed Faked held the microphone for 6 hours today, that’s not a throat,”<\/em> highlighting a moment of cultural and religious appreciation that resonated strongly with its audience.<\/p>\n Several pages marked the occasion of Eid al-Ghadir, a significant day in Shia Islam. R.C.D Al-Rafidain Center for Dialogue<\/a> (Post Impact: 12%)<\/strong> congratulated the Islamic world on the day religion was perfected, quoting the Prophet Muhammad’s sermon. Similarly, posts from Hakim Al-Zamili<\/a> (Post Impact: 6%)<\/strong> and Baqir Jabr Al-Zubaidi<\/a> (Post Impact: 5%)<\/strong> reiterated the importance of the day, linking it to themes of allegiance, justice, and the need for unity in the face of current challenges.<\/p>\n Iraqi citizens documented the direct effects of the regional conflict in their local areas. The page Iraq Telescope<\/a> (Post Impact: 10%)<\/strong> posted images reportedly showing the aftermath of missile launches visible in the skies over Maysan and Basra provinces. In a separate incident, Min Baghdad<\/a> (Post Impact: 7%)<\/strong> reported that a loud explosion was heard in Erbil, coinciding with the activation of warning sirens at the American consulate complex.<\/p>\n The conflict was accompanied by a wave of disinformation, prompting fact-checking efforts. The page Tech 4 Peace<\/a> (Post Impact: 11%)<\/strong> issued a clarification, stating that a viral declaration of support for Iran attributed to Sheikh Yasser al-Dosari, an imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, was fake. The page confirmed that the account circulating the statement was not authentic and that the Sheikh does not have official social media accounts. This debunking likely came in response to posts like one from Muna Sami<\/a> (Post Impact: 7%)<\/strong>, which simply posted an image of the imam, potentially alluding to the false story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Analyzing a total of 467 Facebook posts trending on June 15, 2025, Miqrab AI has identified that the dominant narrative in Iraq revolves around the escalating military conflict between Iran and Israel and its direct implications for Iraqi sovereignty and security.
