construction, with corruption allowing for unprofessional relations between military commanders and resulting in the inability of security forces to respond effectively to dangerous situations.Sharing his own experience, he referred to 17 bombings in one day in Baghdad, which were ignored by a leader of the Ministry of Security, who claimed that the security situation was stable and that there had

a man in a white turbine sitting on a couch, speaking to the camera.He mentioned that many poor Iraqis responded to the fatwa by willingly sacrificing and leaving their families to go out and fight, even though their own lives were difficult.The courage and determination of these men was admirable, and their sacrifice became a sacred mission.The video goes on to show a group of soldiers standing in the desert with a tank behind them as they appear to be getting ready for battle.The subtitles of the video mention that the importance of God prompted a large number of people to respond to the

A. This arises from fears that Sistani's leadership may prioritize economic reforms over security measures, leaving the country vulnerable to insurgent activities and external threats.
B. This is because of the fear that the lack of effective guidance for the population in the course of jihad may evolve into extremist groups and destabilize the country; the questioning of Sistani's attitude towards the Shiites and the fear that his leadership will trigger sectarian conflict and lead the country into civil war; and the uncertainty about the direction and outcome of the war and the fear that his leadership will not be able to truly solve the crises that Iraq is facing.
C. This stems from the belief that Sistani's policies may overly centralize power, marginalizing local governance structures and eroding regional autonomy within Iraq.

The video begins with the jihad, and questions are raised about Sistani's attitude toward Shi'ism Questions about his sectarian attitudes could raise fears of sparking sectarian conflict and civil war. [00:57:43 - 01:00:13]
