Iran's Role in the Recent Uprising in Iraq
(MEMRI) A former Iranian intelligence official in charge of activities in Iraq, identified as Haj Sa'idi, told the London Arabic daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the Iranian plan to turn Iraq into another Iran involves the recruitment of thousands of young Shi'ites. He said more than 300 reporters and technicians who are working now in Iraq for television and radio networks, newspapers, and other media agencies are in fact members of the Al-Quds Army and the Revolutionary Guards intelligence units. He also claimed that Iranian allocations for activities in Iraq reached $70 million per month.
