The timing of it with the elections might have been wholly calculated in the current administration's mind. Did they let Abadi and the clerics know before then that they had his back fighting corruption? Abadi seems to be pretty comfortable running things with all the mess around him. What surprises me is...Iran and the corrupt ilk wasted no time acting...they must have a LOT to lose.
