Pavel + 384 PP January 4, 2018 Iraq goverment is under new challenge. Western allies wants to see pro iranians Shi‘ite militia commanders out of game. They are openly loyal to Teheran and their role in fight against ISIS was important. Few months ago, prime minister Haider al - Abadi had try to weakening the militias, but, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned him to stop. Certainly, each attempt to isolate Shiite for Iraq means new and big conflicts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 4, 2018 Iran is pretty much the only thing keeping Iraq together right now. Definitely agree: trying to sideline the shi'ites will be all-out war. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP January 5, 2018 The Mullahs of Iran had spend a lots of money in the war in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and funding the terrorists across the globe and now they are facing the results. Iran will not give up from its role in Iraq. And every attempt by Iraq to take them away from it territory will bring new blood in that country.

franco + 96 FM January 29, 2018 Ahead of Iraq’s May parliamentary elections, Iranian-backed militias announced the formation of a coalition called al Fatah al Mubin. Iran is setting itself up to shape the next Iraqi government from the inside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

franco + 96 FM January 31, 2018 I was reading about the death toll and I am still in shock. It is one of the least discussed wars in the Middle East; yet, arguably the most important and mostly deadly of them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP January 31, 2018 You’re right. I just checked some article that said half a million to 1.5 million on Iran side. What number do you have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franco + 96 FM January 31, 2018 I saw 1.5 million-2 million. I couldn’t believe it. Three quarters of the casualties were Iranian. Those human wave attacks by the IRGC and Iranian Army were crazy. Soldiers as young as 14 running without weapons towards Iraqi trenches; it’s a zeal I don’t understand. Fanatics, as it today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
