Iran Ready To Move In When US Leaves Iraq

Al-Jazzera/UPI


Iran reportedly is readying troops to move into Iraq if U.S. troops pull out, leaving a security vacuum.

The Saudi daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat...reports Iran has recently moved four battalions to the border.

Al-Sharq al-Awsat quoted "reliable Iraqi sources" as saying, "Iran moved part of its regular military forces towards the Iraqi border in the southern sector at a time its military intelligence agents were operating inside Iraqi territory."...
I am not certain that this is as rash as it sounds. If the Iranians believe thier own propaganda, then they would assume that the multinational force in Iraq is about to collapse and quickly exit Iraq. In this case it would be only prudent for Iran to move troops into Iraq to help quell the inevitable chaos.
