Clash erupted between Iraqi police and hundreds of pro-Iran demonstrators, who took to the streets of Baghdad on Friday.
The protesters are frustrated by October's election results, which ended with pro-Iran groups losing many seats in the Iraqi parliament.
A bloc led by Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, which is criticizing Iranian influence in Iraq, won the most votes.
“The demonstrators threw rocks at security forces and attempted to break into the high-security Green Zone, which is home to the US Embassy and Iraq's election commission. Police used tear gas and fired live rounds in the air to disperse the crowd,” DW English reported.
"There were 125 people injured, 27 of them civilians and the rest from the security forces," the Iraqi Health Ministry said.
The ministry has not confirmed any deaths from the clashes, but an anonymous leader of the Hezbollah Brigades, a faction of Hashed, told AFP news agency that "two demonstrators were killed" on Friday.
