Iran has offered to train and equip Iraqi security forces in an effort to protect their mutual border.
I just squirted coffee out nose...
Iranian officials said the Iranian offer would highlight a meeting of Middle East interior ministers on Nov. 30. The two-day meeting was meant to discuss ways to bolster Iraqi security along its borders with Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey. "The Islamic Republic is ready to train Iraqi police and border guards and even equip them as well as help with the country's reconstruction," Iranian Deputy Interior Minister Ali Asghar Ahmadi said.
"We're also willing to send holy men to rule Iraqi..."
In remarks reported by the official Iranian news agency, Irna, Ahmadi did not elaborate. Iran has so far not extended any security assistance to Iraq.

#2  I would think that Iraqis wouldn't be too terribly keen on this following the performance of the Iranian-trained troops in Fallujah.
