Speaking to FNA on Monday, member of the Iraqi Parliament's Security and Defense Committee Adnan Jabbar al-Miahi said Europe, the US and a number of Arab states which have failed to topple President Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria, have now turned to Iraq to stir unrests in the country to exercise the same plot in the Muslim country.
He said the volatile situation in Iraq is part of the western and US plot to "create Syrian-like conditions in Iraq".
"The said countries have given a green light to terrorists and allowed them to leave Qatar and Yemen for Iraq to lead (anti-government) protests in the country's Western provinces," he said, and explained that the move is aimed "pushing Iraq into a new upsurge of sectarian strife through unrests and seditious moves," he noted.
Iraq has in recent days turned into the scene of political conflicts and unrests in a number of provinces. Regional observers blame certain Arab countries of the region for the chaos.
Several anti-government demonstrations have been held in Iraq since December 23, 2012, when bodyguards of Finance Minister Rafie al-Issawi were arrested on terrorism-related charges.
In January, a senior Iraqi legislator said that the meddling of the Saudi, Turkish and Qatari spy agencies in Iraq has derailed the rallies held in the country in the last few weeks from their legal path.
"The rallies which started in Iraq's Western districts were spontaneous and the demonstrators had legal demands but the interference of the Saudi, Qatari and Turkish plots turned the protests into the current (violent) form," Representative of Iraqi Kurdistan region in the parliament Mahmoud Othman was quoted as saying by Boratha news agency.
He said that meeting the demands raised during the rallies is not possible since they are sectarian demands and reflect the will of the foreign sides.
