I can't find any unimpeachable sources on this, but apparently some of the propaganda in Iraq is that Iran helped prevent the formation of a "second Israel" by pushing back against an independent Kurdistan and taking Kirkuk?
I mean, it's not beyond possibility that Israel may be buying oil from the Kurds, or maybe somehow doing whatever it does in terms of intelligence and what not all over the middle east. But wow. Iraq would rather let Iran have a toe hold than let the Kurds have any independence? That's messed up. And a major problem for us, if Iraq decides to cozy up to Iran.

I have never heard of this.
ReplyDeleteIt is lurking out there on the news sources that I sometimes look at that are not US based. That's why I said I had yet to confirm with an unimpeachable source, though.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that this relates to both rhetoric critical of the Kurds for having their independence vote, and that Netanyahu may have said something supportive of their independence referendum?
Comments are supposed to have come from specific people in Iraq, Iran, and according to one thing, Turkey. So, all the countries that oppose an independent Kurdistan.
It seems like the worst thing you can say about someone in the middle east is calling them Israel, I guess.
