In response to a question on the opinion of the Iraqi people about the absence of Iranian pilgrims in the Arbaeen ceremony, the head of Iraq’s Office of AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, said, “During the last two years, especially last year, due to the absence of Iranian pilgrims, I witnessed the sorrow of Mawkeb owners and Iraqi pilgrims. Last year I saw Mawkeb owners waiting in the streets longingly to see an Iranian pilgrim.”
