Everpresent Iranian influence

Mohammed of Iraq The Model today:

Abddul Aziz Al-Hakim the head of the SCIRI [Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution of Iraq] called to day for the formation of a federal state in the south of Iraq and Hadi Al-Amiri chief of the Badr organization (the military wing of the SCIRI) said that if the Sheat don't persist in forming this state they will regret it.


The British military clearly isn't doing its job in Basra. A divided Iraq is one that will not function correctly. Furthermore, Iranian access to southern Iraq's oil reserves would not serve the U.S.'s interests in the least bit. This is from a BBC Arabic forum:


"I've been working in trade between Iraq and Iran for a long time and I've seen a lot of things in my trips and with all respect to our Iranian neighbors, I can say that 80% of the troubles in Basra is caused by the Iranian intelligence. I know about Iranian officials working in Basra under cover of humanitarian organizations or trading firms.

The Iranians fear that Iraqi lands might be used by the US to attack them and that's why they're implementing the theory that says 'if there has to be a fire, let it be outside my home' and now Basra is on fire"

-Karrar Murtada- Basra

Let's put it out. Or better yet, start our own fire.
