Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Intelligence, Hezbollah to run departments in southern Iraq
As-Siyassa daily, Mar. 29, Kuwait - In a semi-publicized Iranian-Iraqi Shiite plan to make the biggest surgery in the beginning of the 21st century, thousands of Iranian Revolutionary Guards and Intelligence (agents) joined together the Sadr City in Baghdad and the farthest point in southern Iraq bordering Kuwait and Saudi Arabia which were previously spread apart....
Iraqi government and political sources as well as American, British and German Intelligence agencies have been stressing since five months ago that Iraq is seeing a mass, organized immigration of Shiites from Sunni regions of Baghdad to the Syrian border in the West and to the Kurdish Authority in the north and specifically the areas surrounding Kirkuk and their settlement in "studied belts" around Baghdad and in "Sunni-inhabited grooves" in Shiite regions. This indicates the looming, final drawing of a Shiite Authority which will include the capital of Iraq, i.e. a major part of Baghdad, and all the south and amounts to half the area of the country. A report by the U.K. intelligence indicates that officers from Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Intelligence have begun formation of local Shiite councils in various cities and towns in the south, led by committees made up of Iranians and Iraqi paramilitary forces including the Badr Corps and Mahdi Army and political and security officials from the Lebanon's Hezbollah... At the same time, Iranian oil experts also oversee some oil installations of Iraq which bear 80 per cent of the country's oil in the Shiite South and are considered as the aorta of the new Shiite Authority. |
