Walking from Najaf to Karbala for three days, uh, accompanied with representatives of, of, of the Hawza of, uh, Grand Ayatollah Sistani, you see that you're not really dealing with armed actors.

Uh, you are really witnessing this, uh, interesting mixture of religious symbolism.

You see religious posters of, of Imam Hussein, uh, imagery of the Battle of Karbala that's in a way being symbolically equated to the fight of the PMF against ISIS.
