NCRI –\u00a0Iraq’s former deputy president said, \u201cIran is trying to expand its influence in Kurdistan and northern Iraq and there are reports of opening Qods Force offices in the province of Neinava.\u201d Tariq al-Hashemi was responding to a question in an interview with Eram News Site on May 12, 2017 about the role of the Arabic countries in dealing with the Iranian regime. He said, \u201cUnfortunately, Arabic countries haven\u2019t taken defensive precautions against the Iranian regime’s meddling and due to the policy of uncertainty and ignorance, we have lost so much. We must apply all of our means to eliminate the Iranian regime\u2019s influence from Arabic countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former deputy of Iraq’s president, in response to another question, said, \u201cThere won\u2019t be a suitable change and betterment of the situation as long as Iraq is Iran\u2019s hostage, corrupt people are at that head of Iraq\u2019s political scene, and ammunitions are at hands of Iran\u2019s affiliated militia, Iraqi citizens won\u2019t be able to have security and honor. How can this situation be changed? It is impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Khamenei\u2019s consultant has emphasized many times, \u201cBaghdad is Iranian Sassanid\u2019s capital and after Iraq, it continues to Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. I won\u2019t be surprised if the Iranian regime\u2019s greed doesn\u2019t expand to all of Iraq\u2019s territory, other than Neinava. It is obvious that the Iranian regime is against Iraqi regional security and administrative decentralization, because of fears that its influence and control would be lost over the residents of these provinces and its expansion in northern Iraq. These are the facts and the realities on the ground prove it too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
