US, Israel behind treacherous Iraq disintegration plot: Iran official
2017-10-08
[Iran Press TV] Chairman of Iran's Expediency Council Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi warns the United States and the Israeli regime are behind a "dangerous and treacherous" plot to partition Iraq, following an independence referendum held in the Arab country’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

"It is crystal clear that the US and Israel are the architects of this dangerous move and plot in the region and they seek to create a new Israel in the region," Hashemi Shahroudi said during a meeting of the council in Tehran on Saturday.

He expressed great sorrow over efforts to instigate another act of sedition in Iraq’s Kurdistan region and break up the Moslem country, emphasizing that the secessionist "move is undoubtedly a major act of treachery against the region and the Moslem world."
The senior Iranian holy man added that the US was playing a "dangerous" role in regional developments and noted Washington supported the Kurdistan independence referendum and sought to compel Baghdad to accept the secession plan.

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
Hashemi Shahroudi, said the Iraqi government and nation were vigilant and "regional countries, including the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, have adopted a firm and principled stance vis-à-vis this new plot."
