The Saudis have intelligence that Iran has been directly funding a “Shi’ite state” inside Iraq according to a report in the Washington Times this morning.
According to the report, Iran also is infiltrating Iraq through its al Quds forces — the special command division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — which specialize in intelligence operations in unconventional warfare.
So, as I predicted last week, Iraq will turn into a proxy war between the Saudis (Sunnis) and Iranians if the US pulls out.
But more importantly, the Saudis appear to have hard intelligence that the Iranians are supporting the anti-government forces in Iraq which should give us reason enough to deal a mighty blow to Iran’s nuclear program.
