[size=52]Tehran was not satisfied with Baghdad's measures on the borders, and it might carry out "elected" operations at a depth of more than 100 km[/size]

[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]Tehran, which Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani visited two days ago, moved from warning of the crossing of armed militants from Iraqi territory to promoting an "American-Israeli conspiracy."[/size]
[size=45]The Islamic Republic seems not convinced of Baghdad's ability to control the common border strip with the Kurdistan region, which is more than 700 km long.[/size]
[size=45]On this basis, it is likely that the Iranian military operations will move from the border into the Iraqi depth, with distances that may exceed 100 km.[/size]
[size=45]Shiite, Kurdish and independent party officials say that there are "other intentions" behind raising the issue of the Kurdish opposition at this time.[/size]
[size=45]In a remarkable statement, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, during his meeting with Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani in Tehran, questioned Iraq's ability to control the borders between the two countries.[/size]
[size=45]"We regret endangering our security from Iraqi regions, and the solution is for the Iraqi government to extend its authority over those regions," Khamenei said, according to what was reported by the Iranian IRNA news agency.[/size]
[size=45]He stressed "the need to implement all agreements concluded earlier between Tehran and Baghdad, and warned of some intentions that do not want an agreement and cooperation between these two countries."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sudani, who arrived in Tehran last Tuesday, stressed that his country would not allow any groups or parties to launch attacks on Iranian territory from Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]A leader in the Dawa Party denied, in an interview with Al-Mada, on condition of anonymity, that "Tehran is carrying out a large-scale ground attack," as it has been talking about for days.[/size]
[size=45]He predicted that "Tehran will make extensive use of drones against the Kurdish opposition groups in the Kurdistan region."[/size]
[size=45]He also pointed out the possibility of "the Iranian special forces carrying out attacks inside Iraq, up to Kirkuk - about 130 km from the Iranian border - against specific targets."[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Dawa Party, led by Nuri al-Maliki, stressed the difficulty of controlling the borders with Iran, noting that "at the time of the previous regime, we, the Dawa Party, were entering and leaving Iran to Iraq without Saddam, with his arrogance, being able to stop us."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Mada revealed part of the reinforcement plan that Iraq launched last week on the border, which includes reducing the gaps between military points and increasing 30 outposts.[/size]
[size=45]The leader of the Dawa Party says, "Tehran believes that there is an American-Israeli conspiracy that is being carried out from the Kurdistan region against the Islamic Republic, and it is behind the demonstrations that have been going on for 3 months in Iran."[/size]
[size=45]Last March, Iran bombed a civilian building in Erbil that it claimed was a headquarters for the Mossad (Israeli intelligence).[/size]
[size=45]At that time, the parliament formed a committee from several political parties, and it concluded that there was no Israeli activity in the region, and that the place that was targeted was the house of a Kurdish businessman.[/size]
[size=45]A spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, confirmed that his country "welcomes" Iraq's announcement of taking decisions to secure the borders.[/size]
[size=45]The spokesman stated, during a press conference, that "the Iraqi Kurdistan region is part of Iraqi territory and the Iraqi government is responsible for ensuring the security of the common borders between the two countries," according to the Iranian News Agency (IRNA).[/size]
[size=45]And he continued, "We heard news about the Iraqi government's decision to deploy its forces on the borders of the region, and we hope that this will happen and we welcome it, and if the Iraqi government needs technical assistance in this regard, we are ready to provide assistance to it."[/size]
[size=45]Previously, news had leaked of an "unprecedented" build-up of Iranian forces on the Iraqi borders, as if Tehran was preparing for war.[/size]
[size=45]Meanwhile, a Kurdish party official told Al-Mada, on condition of anonymity, that "the bombing operations are sanctions against the Kurdistan region."[/size]
[size=45]The party official was surprised by the continuation of the shelling "despite the Kurdish parties entering into an alliance with the Shiite forces," but he explained these attacks as "because of some parties' refusal to have the Kurds in the coalition."[/size]
[size=45]On the eve of Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani's visit to Tehran, the State Administration Coalition, which includes all political forces except for the Sadrist movement, met at the home of the late President Jalal Talabani and discussed Iranian threats in the presence of the Kurdish parties.[/size]
[size=45]According to leaks that reached Al-Mada, Tehran and Iraqi parties supporting the Islamic Republic are "dissatisfied" with Al-Sudani's policy and the coordination framework, especially with the United States.[/size]
[size=45]A delegation from the US Congress had met Al-Sudani recently in Baghdad, and Washington had previously condemned the Iranian attacks on the border.[/size]
[size=45]Iran believes that Washington wants to reduce its influence in Iraq by increasing commercial dealings and expanding the work of oil companies.[/size]
[size=45]On this basis, groups close to Tehran had criticized the repeated meetings between al-Sudani and the US ambassador to Baghdad, Elena Romanowski (more than four meetings within a month).[/size]
[size=45]Those groups considered Romanowski's visits as "pressure on al-Sudani" and called for his "rescue." Meanwhile, according to the coordination framework, Iran began to sabotage relations with Washington.[/size]
[size=45]According to what officials in the "framework" told (Al-Mada) earlier, "the killing of Stephen Troll (an American citizen was killed in Karrada two weeks ago by unknown persons) and the pressure to prevent investigations from appearing is part of the project to disrupt relations with America."[/size]
[size=45]The bombings and the threat to invade Iraq under the pretext of persecuting the opposition are also part of the approach of disturbing the new relations with the West, according to what the parties see in the coordination framework.[/size]
[size=45]The "framework" had authorized the prime minister to reach an understanding with Washington in return for the former's pledge to prevent the so-called "resistance" from attacking foreign missions and interests in Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]In addition, Mithal Al-Alusi, a former deputy, said in an interview with (Al-Mada) that the Iranian attacks are “a message to Turkey that Iran shares its fears of the Kurdish opposition, and the two countries need deeper relations to deal with this file.”[/size]
[size=45]In conjunction with the escalation of Iranian threats, Turkey launched a large-scale attack against the headquarters of the Kurdish opposition to Ankara in northern Syria and Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]Yesterday, Turkey announced the neutralization of what it called an "intelligence official" in the "PKK" organization, which is the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) opposed to Ankara, Fatima Onur, in a special operation in northern Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Alusi added, "Tehran seeks, with these attacks, to increase the division between Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, and pushes America, in return, to return to negotiations on the nuclear file."[/size]
[size=45]The former deputy confirmed that: “Iran fears a regional alliance against its nuclear reactor, especially with the return of Benjamin Netanyahu (designated to head the new cabinet) at the head of the Israeli government.”[/size]
