Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who is currently in Beirut, seems to be trying to imitate the experience of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, recently adopting Nasrallah’s approach in addressing his Shiite supporters in Iraq.
Amid Iraq's complicated internal crisis, Sadr brought up the liberation of the Golan Heights in Syria and lashed out against the US and the UK, which he described as countries that harbor evil and act as centers for global colonialism — expressions that Nasrallah has frequently used in his speeches over the years.
