Reports on Friday indicated that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei authorized his army to coordinate joint military operations with the United States against the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in Iraq.
Iranian sources in Tehran told BBC Persian about the development, which comes as the Sunni extremist group that has conquered vast swathes of Iraq and Syria continues to threaten the Shi’ite Islamic regime of Iran.

Face, meet palm. Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
Good way to give away military secrets without the public realizing it.
America is now allied with Iran, and attacking
Israel at points of the Syrian border.
That is why Obama-the-Undocumented First Moslem calls
IS as ISIL.
America has taken the WRONG side.
So now we’re allied and cooperating with the same country that wants Israel wiped off the map?
This “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” BS is just that.
Bull S—.
The enemy of my enemy is STILL MY ENEMY. Back in the good ol’ days (1980’s) over a million casualties were reported (God knows how many were uncounted) in the Iran/Iraq wars.
Did the US have boot on the ground there? Nope. Nor should we have them now.
But with our HMIC* as pResident - he will drag us into the muslim mud deeper and deepr.
*Head Muslim in Cheif.
The “L” in ISIL stands for Levant, an entire REGION in the eastern Mediterranean that encompasses several states including Israel.
I guess Jarret-Obama got what it wanted.
This gets confusing:
The enemy of my enemy’s enemy is my enemy’s enemy.
Iran, Syrian, and Egypt DO NOT seem to want the moose limb brotherhood to take them over
The enemy of my enemy is my friend’s enemy is my friend is my...........oh, what the heck!...................
Yes, the Iranian adviseress wants exactly that..................
IS is also trying to take down the regime of Bashar al-Assad who is supported by Iran and Russia and opposed by us. Eliminating IS will ensure that Assad stays in power.
Please someone....wake me up from this nightmare.
In essence we will be fighting Russia.Proxy war.
So we’re going to help an enemy attack an enemy that a few months ago we were going to help by bombing its enemy that we said was our enemy, but now we’re going to help that enemy by attacking its enemy that we were going to help.
Got it.
Our foreign policy is more random than a game of Electric Football with the plastic players on the vibrating metal board
Careful, the Obama administration is likely to steal your policy-making tool.
