Iraqi tribal and religious leaders denounce Iranian meddling in Iraq

NCRI – A number of Iraqi tribal leaders, clergies and cultural personalities of Al-Anbar province held a congress in Amman over the situation in Iraq, reported Al-Jazeera TV, July 12.

In its final statement, the congress denounced mullahs’ regime meddling in Iraq which was described as an effort aimed to foment religious strife in that country.

In June, some 5.2 million Iraqis from all walks of life across the country gave support to a declaration which condemned Iranian regime’s meddling in Iraq. The declaration in part read: "Iraq was driven to the verge of precipice in 2005 by the Iranian regime. The people of Iraq have run out of patience with this regime’s meddling, hidden war and undeclared occupation. The Iranian regime’s spokesmen have declared loud and clear that security, life and democracy have been violated in our homeland. Destruction of the holy shrines of Imam Hadi and Imam Hassan Askari and the subsequent premeditated attacks on mosques; killing of preachers and worshipers; mass murders; assassination of nationalist personalities and the elite of Iraqi society; an incessant wave of arbitrary arrests and countless cases of kidnapping; discovery of secret prisons and torture chambers run by the Ministry of Interior especially in Jadiriya where agents of Iran’s ruling regime interrogated and tortured Iraqis are a few examples of incidents that shocked the world."

The June declaration also lent support to People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran whose presence in Iraq has acted as a major obstacle to mullahs’ fundamentalist ambitions in Iraq. The announcement was made before a crowd of 10,000 Iraqis in Ashraf City, north of Baghdad on June 17.
