BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security forces fired tear gas and live rounds during clashes with anti-government protesters overnight and this morning in Baghdad, wounding at least 13 demonstrators and prompting authorities to close key streets and thoroughfares leading to the city center, officials said.

The violence is the latest since protests in Iraq reignited last week after a brief lull amid soaring tensions between Washington and Tehran following a U.S. drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad earlier this month.

The tear gas and live rounds were fired near the city’s Sinak Bridge and nearby Tayaran Square, which have been the scene of violence in recent days, medical and security officials said. As smoke rose over the city from the tear gas, tuk-tuks ferried the injured to hospitals.
