| Iran's leader: Shiite militias will play crucial role in Iraq's future | ||
| 2015-06-20 | ||
[Rudaw] The Shiite militia movement known the Hashd al-Shaabi, or Popular Mobilization Units, has a crucial role in maintaining Iraq's security in the future, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said in a Wednesday meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi.
He added that Iraq's security is important for Iran, and that Tehran fully supports Baghdad in the ongoing war against the so-called Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... , or ISIS. Khamenei said the Hashd al-Shaabi have played a key role in the fight against ISIS and will help build a more secure future for Iraqis. Abadi's trip to Tehran was focused on regional security issues, according to information obtained by Rudaw. The Hashd al-Shaabi rose up last year after a call from Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the highest Shiite holy man in Iraq, when ISIS fighters overran much of the country's western territory. The militias, some of which have known ties to Iran, took the lead in the liberation of Tikrit earlier this year amid subsequent allegations the fighters marginalized Sunni residents of the area.

| #4 Good luck with that. Tater and the locals get big, you'll not be able to control them, yet they will have control over the holiest Shia sites where all you Persians feel obligated to pilgrimize. And trust me, once the Sunni threats are put aside, Persians become the issue for the Shia Arabs. |

| #3 What will the new guy say, whoever he might be? Most likely the same thing, along with an infusion of IRGC and intel assets. |
