With an unprecedented operation.. Qaani threatens to invade Iraq during a meeting with the leaders of Baghdad

19th November, 2022
The commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Ismail Qaani, threatened, during a recent visit to Baghdad, a ground military operation in the Kurdistan Region, if "the Iraqi army did not fortify the common borders against the Kurdish opposition groups."

And the American Associated Press reported, quoting a number of Iraqi and Kurdish officials, as saying that "such an operation, if implemented, will be unprecedented in Iraq, and will exacerbate the regional repercussions in light of the turmoil in Iran, which it considers an external conspiracy."

And the American agency indicated that “the Iranian threat was conveyed by the commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, Ismail Qaani, who arrived in Baghdad last Monday on an unannounced visit that lasted until Friday, and came one day after an Iranian missile attack targeted an opposition base in Erbil, killing three people.” 

The information indicates that "Qaani met with the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia' al-Sudani, and other leaders of the Coordination Framework Coalition, and the new President Abd al-Latif Rashid, in addition to the armed factions backed by Iran."

Qaani's demands were twofold: "disarming the Kurdish groups opposing Iran in northern Iraq, and fortifying the borders to prevent infiltration," according to the US agency.

The sources confirmed to the Associated Press that Qaani said, "If Baghdad does not meet the demands, Iran will launch a military campaign with ground forces and continue bombing opposition bases." The agency's report indicated that the Iranian threat "puts Baghdad in a dilemma," as this is the first time that Iranian officials have openly threatened a ground military operation.

Makes a lot of sense if they feign all sorts of indignation then " invade "

You have all this talk going on with currency reform and not very much in the way of the corrupt speaking out against it: as if they're " seemingly " going along with the reforms, then Iran suddenly crosses the border ?!

Oh oh, instability again can't go ahead with reforms...real convenient and it gets these cheese balls of the hook- well possibly huh.

So Iran and Turkey, are angry with Iraq because the Kurdish Defense Party , PRK, whatever, are trying to reform Kurdistan; which went away when post WW II powers that be, including Russia, redrew the Middle East. The former Kurdish country was on land that is now occupied by Turkey, Iraq, and Iran . Best keep them caged up Mr Maliki to keep the peace. Cus if you anger Turkey, all they need to do is cut off the oil pipelines Kurdish Iraq has running to Turkeys most northern port for export to Europe and beyond. Shut down these pipelines you cut off funding to the Kurdish Rebels, and also to the country of Iraq itself. What a picture that would be. Turkey runs raids into northern Kurdish territories frequently. So if Iraq cannot control them just let Iran do what you let Turkey do already. Well if you do not want to exercise your sovereign muscles anyway.

I'm thinking Iran has already invaded Iraq a long time ago.
