Muqtada al-Tamimi

Muqtada al-Tamimi is a prominent Iraqi activist and businessman in his late 20s who has emerged as a leading voice against Iranian influence in Iraq. He is a key figure in the grassroots movement 'Iraq Only,' which aims to promote better relations with the United States and eliminate the hold of Iranian militias over Iraq.
