The 2022 Baghdad clashes was a civil conflict that broke out between supporters of Iraqi politician Muqtada al-Sadr and pro-Iranian forces, following Sadr's announcement of his resignation from politics. The move came after the resignation of Grand Ayatollah Kadhim Al-Haeri, the leader of his Iran-based Sadrist movement, which Sadr believed wasn't of his own volition.
