Iraqi delegation in Iran to discuss Mullah supported militias
BAGHDAD - Iraqi envoys stepped up pressure on Iran during a mission Thursday that seeks to bolster claims that Tehran is arming and training Shiite militias in Iraq and bring the suspected aid to a halt.
Iran has already denied it; I think the reason the Iraqi govt officials are doing this (despite the fact that some of them are likely currently taking bribes from Iran) is pressure from the ISF and Iraqi police commanders. It will, IMO, have to be followed up with more envoys -- with more Iran denials and eventually with a major anti-Iran demo (burn a mullah in effigy) - that, I think would be a game-changer.
