It is important to remember that there are many layers to Iran’s involvement in Iraq. Here is a partial list off the top:
-Sadr and JAM
-Hakim and BADR/SIIC
-Qods activity against the CG and MNF
-economic ties in the north and south
-arming anyone who wants to cause trouble (including but not limited to AQI) via the “ratlines”
-cat’s paw politicians in the Basra area and in Baghdad (see Sadr and SIIC above, amongst others)
-intimidation of neighbors so that they hold back from constructive involvement in Iraq
-backing Syrian interference
-using Hezbollah and Hamas to train subversives and fighters
More, anyone?
