I don’t know.. it all sounds too weird to me. On the one hand am thinking they just don’t have a lot of choices for ‘acceptable’ politicians & on the other installing another Iranian regime backed or sympathizer in Iraq whilst were trying to remove Assad in Syria who is also supported by Islamic gov’t in Iran doesn’t make much sense. Unless they’re trying to counter Sunni Islamists in Iraq..but I don’t think those Islamist care
Every prominent Shia politician is likely in Iran’s pocket LOL!.
The best we can hope for from Obama and kerry’s efforts in Iraq is that Iran will get over-extended there and/or that Saudi and others will get more active against Iran’s expansion.
