Iran Could be a Partner of the US in Iraq

Ray Takeyh, Council on Foreign Relations | April 17, 2008

Contrary to the Bush administration's claim last week, the main interest of Iran in Iraq is not to predicate on violence but to stabilize this country. ++ To prevent the possible future aggression from the Sunnites and to stop the agitation for Kurdish autonomy, Iran should not derange the unfolding democratic process. ++ To emerge as the leading power in the Gulf, Iran needs the withdrawal of US forces.
