Iran's Cooperation is Crucial in Iraq
Jonathan Steele, the Guardian | May 30, 2008
The current propaganda campaign against Iran is similar to that against Iraq before the US-led invasion. ++
Without Iran’s cooperation peace and stability in Iraq cannot be achieved. ++ The more immediate danger is not Iranian nuclear ambition, but the transformation of the Gulf into a theater of artificial Sunni-versus-Shia tensions. ++ Contrary to most Western news accounts, the IAEA report on Iran was not negative. ++ Iran has legitimate interests in Iraq and Washington is caught in a bind. ++ A new US approach is urgently needed.
