Iraqi opposition complains about extent of Iran’s influence

Iraqi opposition complains about extent of Iran's influence Al-Ghad daily, May 8, Jordan – Saleh Mutlaq, leader of National Dialogue Front, warned against expansion of Iran’s influence in Iraq and the dangers it poses to the security, sovereignty and Arab identity of that country.

In an exclusive interview with Al-Ghad, he pointed out, "Iran’s influence in Iraq is a reality, so much that it has expanded to the country’s institutions and even into the parliament." He added, "Some members of the Iraqi Parliament are Iranian."

He said, "If Arabs knew of the level of threat posed by Iranian influence in Iraq, they would rise up to help Iraq and protect its future and Arabism."

Mutlaq called on Arab countries to "adopt serious measures to assist Iraq and save it from Iran’s occupation."
