What is the approach that Sayyed Sistani establishes to protect Iraq?

Iraq’s supreme religious leader, Sayyed Ali Sistani, performs his authority based on two intricate recitals. The first is that he is a moderate religious cleric; supervises hundreds of charitable and service projects worldwide; as well tens of millions of Shiites around the world follow him. As for the second recital, he has the right to veto -which is neither codified nor stipulated by law- on the level of Iraqi affairs.
