London, Jun. 13 – A group of Iraqis demonstrated outside the Iranian consulate in the holy city of Karbala, according to a Qatari daily.

The protestors were supporters of prominent Iraqi Shiite Ayatollah Mahmoud al-Hassani, an outspoken critic of Iranian meddling in Iraq, the daily Sharq reported on Monday.

They protested against a program aired on Iran’s state-run satellite channel al-Kowthar against Ayatollah al-Hassani.

Iran has at least seven Arabic-language television stations and more than two dozens journals spreading its propaganda in Iraq.
