Iran arab-parast president issue "$1 billion Line of Credit" to Iraq

Dec 1, 2006

...plus "hundreds of millions of dollars" worth of no-bid contracts and trade pacts for Iraqi reconstruction...

Iran's arab-parast president reached out to Iraq by giving the Baghdad government a $1 billion line of credit. The financial arrangements were revealed on the third and final day of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's meetings with Iran's mullahs. Ahmadinejad made clear that Iran would support Iraq's government in setting a timetable for U.S. troops to leave the country.

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune in Tehran, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that in addition to the line of credit, Ahmadinejad and Talabani had signed "hundreds of millions of dollars" worth of no-bid contracts and trade pacts for Iraqi reconstruction. Under the agreements, Iran will help rebuild schools, hospitals, pipelines and power plants.

Mullahs' gestures underscored its deep religious bond with its Shiite-majority arab neighbor. Ahmadinejad said that he invited Talabani to Tehran this week to explore possible ways to bring calm to Iraq but end up handing over 'billions of dollars' of Iran's national treasure.
