Iran Sends Diplomatic Warning to US Over Iraq

Iran said Sunday that it had sent a message of formal diplomatic warning to the United States about its actions in neighboring Iraq.

'We have warned the Americans about Iraq,' Foriegn Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told a weekly news conference.

Asefi did not comment on the content of the warning, but officials and religious leaders in Shiite Muslim Iran have expressed outrage in recent weeks about the presence of US led forces in the holy Shiite cities of Najaf and Karbala.

Asefi said that the diplomatic message was sent VIA the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which represents United States interests in Iran.

Washington broke ties with Iran in 1980.

"What is going on between us and members of the Iraqi Governing Council and all groups in Iraq is negotiation, the exchange of views and clear and transparent cooperation."

Interpretation: You got us and we don't like it.

I don't understand why we're not shipping weapons to the Iranian dissidents. Iran should be in full rebellion today, but we have deliberately kept hands off. Time to turn up the heat under the ayatollahs in their own backyard.

Iran wiull probably be partitioned with Russia occupying Tehran. It's long past time for Islam to depart Iran.

The mullahs in Iran and the Baathist/Socialists in Syria have to hate the fact that we now have them completely flanked.

I have stated many times that, strategically, the fact that we now have those two evil regimes flanked is of even more value than eliminating Hussein's brutal dictatorship in Iraq.

More people need to back up, get some perspective, and realize this.

I thought the people were going to get rid of the mullahs themselves in Iran, still might happen that way..
