What is the truth about the statement circulating about Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafi regarding raising the US dollar exchange rate and its impact on the Iraqi citizen?
A page in the name of "the official office of the religious authority Sheikh Bashir al-Najafi" circulated the following news: "His Eminence, the religious authority Bashir al-Najafi, that the game of raising the US dollar exchange rate in front of the oppressed Iraqi people from some of those who belong to the holy Najaf Hawza for their interests and do not care about what the Iraqi citizen is going through will not pass without a response and punishment from us."
