Iraqi Shi'ite scholar Asaad Al-Naseri said that "Iraq is under Iranian occupation," and it controls Iraq in terms of security, politics, and economy. Al-Naseri made these remarks in an interview with UTV (Iraq) that aired on February 18, 2021. He said that the Rule of the Jurisprudent has destroyed not only the Iranian people, but other countries in the region as well, such as Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq. Al-Naseri asked how the people of Iran, who had experienced openness under the Shah's rule, could possibly have become so religious in such a short period of time. He said that many religious scholars and thinkers have been placed under house arrest, sent to prison, or executed by the "tyrannical" Rule of the Jurisprudent.

There is no dispute over the term, but [Iran] controls [Iraq] in terms of the security, politics, and economy. The main driving force behind this is the concept of the Rule of the Jurisprudent. The Rule of the Jurisprudent is one of the things that have destroyed the Iranian people, in particular, as well as other countries in the region such as Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq.

Many religious scholars and thinkers have been either imprisoned, placed under house arrest, or executed. Members of the opposition have been executed.

"This tyrannical rule is being implemented by the Rule of the Jurisprudent in Iran."
