Shalan claimed, in an article in the Washington Pos, that Iran, who had waged war against Iraq from 1980 to 1988, has interfered with his country in an attempt 'to kill democracy'. He blamed Iran for 'supporting terrorism and sending enemies to Iraq' and alleged that Iran wanted overtake Iraqi stations along the Iranian border. Many people who fought in Afghanistan were arrested in Iraq, Shalan said, and that these people, furthermore, 'admitted that they received help from Iranian security forces'. After noting that a Sudanese militant associated with Iranian intelligence was caught with poison, intended for Divaniyah city's drinking water, Shalan added, "We can also send death to Tehran's streets".

1- It wasn't us who waged war on them, their mad leader Saddam Hussein torn 1975 Algeria treaty in a TV show in 20th September of 1980 and ordered a massive attack on Iranian soil and killed Millions of Iranians and gassed thousands of Iranians in fronts during 1980s. I still remember those days.

2- If he has any problem with the regime in Tehran, he should threaten/address the regime not the INNOCENT people of Tehran.

3- He is a diplomat but he talked like an uneducated arab.

4- people of Iran have no role in killing Iraqis or events of Iraq. I don't understand why he wants to kill us here. May be he needs another bloody war to be happy and I am sure PERSIANS can not forget what Arabs have done to their land...

Do not worry. We all know that it was Iraq that invaded Iran (and other countries).

Furthermore we all know that the population of Iran does not like the clerics that are running Iran.

However, there are proofs that Iranian hands are involved in some of the problems in Iraq. Naturally, this does not mean that the Iranian population has approved these acts as they are not allowed to elect their leaders.

We all know that the government of Iran is not in full control of their own country. However, the normal practice is that a government must be held accountable for its foreign policy. I am not so sure that Rafsanjani and his friends understands that, but they will learn in a couple of months.
