Asadi, who is already an elected member of parliament from Baghdad, served as a spokesperson for the PMU but cut his ties prior to announcing his bid for re-election.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This does not mean that Asadi is no longer affiliated with the Iran-backed PMU. It is merely a requirement by the governing body that is overseeing the May vote, which does not want militia-linked politicians running.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reason is that they fear that these politicians would do the bidding of the Iranian Regime, rather than the Iraqi people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The source, who could not speak on the record for fear of persecution by the Regime or the PMU, said that the meeting also discussed how to pressure Iraq\u2019s Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi about allowing Asadi to return to the PMU.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The meeting ended with an agreement to appoint Asadi as media advisor to the PMU, if he accepts the position, even though electoral laws prevent military candidates from running.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian interference<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This has obviously sparked fears that the Iranian Regime will interfere in the Iraqi elections in order to suit its own agenda, as they do across the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Political analyst Ahmad al-Khafaji said: &#8220;The presence of Gheybparvar and the Iranian ambassador in such meetings confirm that Iran has plans to interfere further in Iraqi politics.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Khafaji went on to say that Iran\u2019s pressure on Abadi goes far beyond allowing Asadi to run despite his links to the PMU and that it has now \u201creached to the extent of interference in Iraqi domestic and foreign policies, but Abadi and his team have refused intervention on several occasions and deal with Iran as required by Iraq&#8217;s interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This type of regional interference was something that Donald Trump mentioned in his January speech on the Iran nuclear deal and why it is not in the security interests of the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI Staff NCRI &ndash;&nbsp;The commander of an Iranian paramilitary force met with Iraqi political candidates in Baghdad last week, but no
