Remember @AP on Oct 30th: “Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani flew into Baghdad late at night and took a helicopter to the heavily fortified Green Zone, where he surprised a group of top security officials by chairing a meeting in place of the prime minister” https://t.co/B0yRSIkHpF

@AP: “We in Iran know how to deal with protests,” Soleimani told the Iraqi officials, according to two senior officials familiar with the meeting who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the secret gathering. “This happened in Iran and we got it under control.”

@AP: The day after Soleimani’s visit, the clashes between the protesters & security forces in Iraq became far more violent, with the death toll soaring past 100 as unidentified snipers shot demonstrators in the head & chest. Nearly 150 protesters were killed in less than a week.

If you don’t call that “foreign hands” meddling in another countries affairs, I don’t know what is.

Also please note one of the main issues for the protesters is to stop Iranian meddling in the country. Such Iranian meddling that is now resulting in hundreds of Iraqis killed.

#2 “We in Iran know how to deal with protests,” Soleimani told the Iraqi officials, [said the leakers]. “This happened in Iran and we got it under control.”

You just need a little Stalin-Style repression.
