TOPSHOT-IRAQ-IRAN-US-CONFLICT-POLITICS

TOPSHOT - Iraqi demonstrators lift flags and placards as they rally in Tahrir square in the capital Baghdad on January 3, 2021, to mark one year after a US drone strike killed Iran's revered commander Qasem Soleimani and his Iraqi lieutenant Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis near the capital. Thousands of Iraqi mourners chanted "revenge" and "no to America", one year after the US strike which killed Soleimani and al-Muhandis and brought Washington and Tehran to the brink of war in early 2020, an anniversary that was also marked in recent days across Iran and by supporters in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and elsewhere.
