You think those militias are going to publicly parade those missiles? Please. And they haven't been used against IS because there has been no military need, IS isn't a conventional military with overt presence and because Iran has primarily giving these missiles to these militias for deterrence.
They will if they are attacked, and it won't be the first time that state-operated forces are getting confronted by non-state militant groups in Iraq. To suggest that ISF are going to attack pro-Iranian groups if a battle erupt between the latter and the US is outright laughable. Baghdad lacks...
But those groups aren't going to listen to a bunch of corrupted and spineless officials in Baghdad. You can cry all you want, but the reality is that Iran has loyal allies under its control in Iraq that will act upon Tehran's orders once shit has hit the fan.
You can't be serious. They are...
We are bombing your oil ships and pipelines. Where are your balls? Is Saudi a synonym for cowardice these days?
Don't cry for American intervention. Make a move yourself. Iran is waiting.
Now you are sounding like these brainless Pakistanis on this forum who urge its country to use nuclear weapons every time something happens. Don't make a fool of yourself.
So? It also included mixed Kurdish/Shia Turkmen cities where the presence of Iranian-allied militias have been documented. You seem to forget that the KRG faced similar pressure from Turkey, which cooperated its move together with Iran, with the tacit support from Baghdad.
What are you talking...
I'm not sectarian. I'm an atheist. I couldn't give a damn about someone's religious credentials.
You seem to live in lala-land. There are dozens of reports from credible sources who have pointed out to Iran's covert role in the battle for Kirkuk. We pressured and scared the Talebanis, which...
There hasn't been a country in the world which has played a more negative role in Afghanistan than Pakistan. You guys are primarily to blame for the mess we are currently seeing. Your government and other powerful domestic insitutions are not a victim of terrorism; the Sunni-inspired terrorism...
Don't be surprised. The only reason why Iraq is still unified is because both Turkey and Iran oppose its breaking up. That is why we put the Kurds in their place after their referendum by re-capturing Kirkuk, which we then sold as an Iraqi operation, while in reality it were Iranian generals who...
You played a double game in Afghanistan, and the whole world knows this. As well as that the menace you guys created in Afghanistan eventually bit your own asses. You might have said no to Yemen, but then later made it up with the Arabs by approving to one of your generals heading a Islamic...
The war against IS increased our influence and presence in Iraq. Why should we have stopped them at your own border? But then again, you guys are so weak and incompetent thst Iraq has become the laughing stock of the world. Your second biggest city was conquered by a couple of hundred of bearded...
Keep dreaming.
The United States sold the Shah its latest military equipment and gave the country a free-hand in its regional policy. Also, we eventually deposed the Shah exactly because we deemed him to be weak and spineless.
Iraq on the other hand is a failed state, intrinsically. You guys...
Nonsense. It were the Shia militias under our control who first managed to stop the advance of IS in Amerli and Jurf al-Sakhar. It were these militias who propped up the moral confidence of the Iraqi society. In addition, we also provided significant support to the Kurds, who were scared...
That is because we are surrounded by weak and spineless states that act on the behalf of the interests of other countries. Pakistan is one of such countries. A country who relied on the aid of the United States to do its bidding, while giving the Americans a free hand to drop bombs on their soil...
I don't need historical lessons from a guy whose nation crumbled in the face of a couple of hundred bearded extremists, and had to run to Iran to save its country.
So legendary, indeed.
Remember that it was a Persian-Indian general who humiliated your country in the 1971 war...
That is rich coming from a Pakistani whose nation has lost every conventional war in its history.
Our military history goes way back than the Iran-Iraq War.
Moreover, anyone using the Iran-Iraq War as an example of Iranian military competence is not only stuck in the past, but obviously has...
