With Sadr and Sistani breathing down their necks in Iraq, the American’s desperately turned to the mullahs of Iran for help, who have rightly rebuffed their calls.
**Kharrazi says Iran will not mediate between US, Iraqis **
Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi here on Friday rejected as baseless speculations that Iran would mediate between the US and the Iraqis to resolve the crisis in the country. “How can one mediate between the Iraqi people and the occupiers?,” Kharrazi stressed in a statement faxed to IRNA. “The legitimate demand of the Iraqi people is that occupation forces quickly withdraw troops from Iraq.” Kharrazi had earlier on Wednesday announced that the US has asked Iran to help ease tension in Iraq, stressing that Tehran and Washington had “many correspondence” through the Swiss Embassy to that effect. He had stressed that Iran would spare no effort to help improve the situation in Iraq. “The best thing that the occupation forces can do is transferring power to the Iraqi people as soon as possible,” Iran’s foreign minister added in the statement. Kharrazi said Iran cannot be indifferent toward Iraq’s developments as well as the instability and the killings of the Iraqi people.
Re: Iran says it will not mediate between US, Iraqis
Iran’s not stupid, if they do this well then bye bye iran.. They will face the wrath of those mainacs in Iraq!.. This is a mess created by the US forces and thier gun happy ways. Now they should face the true spoils of the war!
After being snubbed by glorious Iran, the American's have been forced to negotiate directly with the Iraqi resistance, and that has been very fruitful so far. For the resistance that is. :)
