The Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki arrived in Tehran on Wednesday to meet with officials of the Iranian regime to gain their approval for his third consecutive term.
Maliki’s Iran visit is taking place in the aftermath of his failed visit to the U.S where he faced widespread opposition in the U.S. and Congress and public opinion.
This is while the people of Iraq and many political parties in that country including some of his closest allies are opposed to him seeking a third term.
Maliki is visiting Tehran to gain the Iranian regime’s approval for another term by carrying out daily bombings, killings and executions in Iraq.
In such circumstances, the suppression of the Iranian opposition in Iraq and the fate of seven hostages taken by Iraqi forces has very special importance. To gain the regime’s approval, Maliki must assure the Iranian regime that he will continue to suppress Camp Liberty residents and impose more restrictions on them, and as may be necessary, hand over the seven hostages to the Iranian regime.
According to the reports obtained from inside the regime Nouri Al-Maliki intends to discuss suppression of members of Iranian opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) , and the fate and possible extradition of seven dissidents taken hostage during the September 1 attack on Camp Ashraf.
