Coalition forces on Thursday arrested a suspected member of an elite Iranian unit that has been accused of training and equipping insurgents in Iraq, the U.S. military said.

The military said the suspect, who was not identified, is a member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - Quds Force.

The U.S. military calls the force "a covert action arm of the Iranian government responsible for aiding lethal attacks against the Iraqi government and coalition forces."

Another Iranian captured in Iraq. This one is a member of an elite force of the Iranian army.

It is suspected and suggested in the article that this sect of the Iranian army is bringing in roadside bombs into Iraq to use against coalition forces.

How much evidence do we need to prove Iran is using Iraq to fight a proxy war against the United States?

Since “we” find such actions too squeamish, hand him over to the Iraqis for such a punishment. ;-)

I would love to return the favor that Iran did to our US citizens in 1979 when Abinijahad steps foot on US Soil, only put him down at gitmo with the other terrorists where he belongs. Better yet, his plane needs to have “instrumentation trouble” and take a dive right into the shark infested waters off of Cuba!

I’d fly this guy to New York and bring him into the UN when Ahmanutjob is there. I’d hold him accountable in front of the entire assembly, with cameras live, just like what was done with the photos of missile installations during the Cuban missile crisis.

‘How much evidence do we need to prove Iran is using Iraq to fight a proxy war against the United States?’

For the lefwingnuts and Ron Paul there can never be enough evidence.

The networks would refuse to cover it. ;-)

I think the Quds Force is a part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards & not a part of the regular Iranian Army. It’s an important distinction. The Revolutionary Guards ultimate job is to protect the Ayatollas — against their own army, if necessary. A kind of political-military counterweight, if you will.

The Quds Force is focused outward on spreading the Iranian Revolution to other Muslim areas — especially amoung the Shia.

“A kind of political-military counterweight, if you will.” Just like their heroes in the Nazi SS...

Sounds like the same role the SS filled in Hitler's third Reich

So, Iranians are working in Syria on missiles loaded with Sarin?
And members of elite Iranian military units are active in Iraq?

Iran is having the luxury of waging a one-sided war. They are breaking all the rules with impunity. I wonder how much longer that will go on?

It would appear Iraq has an Iranian illegal migrant problem.

Report from Sunni/Baathist insurgents: 2:27pm Makkah time Monday, Armed men shot and killed as-Sayyid Salim, a commander of the Shi ‘ sectarian “15 Sha‘ban Movement” in Abu al-Khasib, 20km SE of al-Basrah.

Salim was parked in his car outside the bus station when two men got out of their car and opened fire, killing him instantly.

Note: The '15 Sha‘ban Movement' has close ties with the Iranian intelligence service 'Ittila‘at' and is behind the murders of many prominent Sunnis in al-Basrah.
