The Kuwaiti Asseyassa daily described the statement of 300,000 southern Iraq Shiites an important historical turning point for Iraq.

In an article written by the Iraqi author Davoud Basri, Asseyassa wrote: This measure is aligned with historical opposition against the Iranian regime’s insidous behavior in Iraq. Some parties in the present government work aligned with the interests of Iran’s mad terrorist regime. We have repeatedly said: There is no difference between various layers of Iraq’s society. They are against fundamentalism. The phenomenon of animosity and rancor and sectarian separation is fomented by the sectarian regime ruling Iran.
