Pressure mounted on Iraq’s political elite on Friday to nominate a new premier, after a stern sermon from the country’s top Shia authority and a call for fresh protests by firebrand cleric Moqtada Sadr.

Iraq’s capital and south have been gripped by four months of anti-government protests demanding snap elections, a politically independent prime minister and an end to corruption.
