Despite the lies and disinformation about Iran and its role in Iraq from the neo-cons, Iraq's leaders clearly do not see Iran as a threat and don't want to give the U.S. bases from which it could launch an attack on Iran.
Iraqi leader says security deal won't harm Iran
By NASSER KARIMI – 2 hours ago
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iraq's prime minister sought to ease Iranian fears over a proposed security deal with the U.S. Sunday, saying his government will not allow Iraq to become a launching pad for an attack on its neighbor.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during a two-day visit to Tehran that was expected to focus on the security pact, which Washington and Baghdad hope to finish by mid-summer.
After talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Saturday evening, al-Maliki said the Baghdad government will not allow Iraq to become a launching pad for "harming" Iran, according to Iran's state broadcaster.
Al-Maliki's Dawa party, along with other Shiite parties in his ruling coalition, have longstanding close ties with Iran.
