NCRI – Vice President of the Iraqi Religious Council, Ayash Alkabisi, considers Iranian regime as the main threat to Iraq. He said, “As part of the resistance we announce that the Iranian regime is targeting our country’s unity, wealth and destiny through a dangerous plan.”
He told the Iraqi TV on September 1, “There is no Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Undoubtedly, whatever there is has to do with the extensive plot by the Iranian regime. The threat that people feel in their mosques, streets, markets and homes, especially in Sunni areas have nothing to do with the Al-Qaeda, but the Iranian regime’s conspiracies.
Alkabisi added, “The Iranian Counsel who was kidnapped earlier was freed by Al-Qaeda. All our brothers in resistance and everybody are aware of that. This proves that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is not working for an Islamic agenda but it clearly works for the Iranian regime and has become a strong arm of that regime.
He reiterated, “We first thought it was legitimate to resist against the occupiers. We were then faced with challenges that we could not handle and questions that we could not answer. The situation was getting complicated. We did not have any plans to counter Iranian regime’s proxies and their attempt to control Baghdad. We had no plans to stand up to the fundamentalist organizations that were killing the innocent people either. Presently, we are at a juncture that we believe the dangerous strategy of the Iranian regime has targeted the unity, wealth and destiny of Iraq. We have to make sure that our people and the people in the neighboring Arab countries are aware of this threat. The threat is not less dangerous than that of the occupiers. We must reveal the activities of the so-called Islamic government of Iraq in dividing people into those who are with them and those who are not and deserve to be killed.”
Alkabisi noted that the sectarian difference between Sunnis and Shiites is the outcome of the Iranian regime’s meddling in Iraq. He said, “Throughout the history, there has never been any sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq unless caused by the Iranian regime.”
