While the US hurried to topple Saddam, it seems that Iran did a better job of investing financial, political and military capital in the country and now operates comfortably inside of a post-Saddam Iraq. Here's how.
several years ago i traveled to irag with my car and 3days before mosul falling i was in mosul ...when i was in iraq as an iranian guy i surprised ,becouse i didn’t see any differences with iraqi people...we are so close...we are same thing...dont forger the borders is not real...cultural connection and spiritual unity is important
As a Palestinian American; I denounce Saddam and the Iranaphobia perpetrated by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel and the United States. Iran earned her support from Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine through it's blood, sweat and tears. From the Mediterranean to the Persian, let's be one.
Geras Al-Aqras Syria always fought for Palestine, they sacrificed the safety and security of their entire nation, longer and harder than any other country.
Geras Al-Aqras your point? Of bigotry? Your point is invalid. Iran supports Syria and Palestine unconditionally, one fervently secular and the other religious Sunnis. That doesn't fit "your point" that they want to prop up Shia theocracies. They just want to set up strong independent neighbors so they are safe from US imperialism.
Geras Al-Aqras Saddam was a madman, he invaded an undefeatable country with support from the West, he stupidly invaded Kuwait, with the support of the West. Etc. Etc. You dumb Arabs follow whoever talks the best talk. Iran has the truest independent government that has self interest only in strengthening and protecting ALL their neighbors. They just want safety and security for ALL middle East. Don't worry, they have enough deserts to deal with alone, on top of it you think they want the Arabs problems? They know a strong, right headed Syria and Iraq will help EVERYONE. STOP THINKING LIKE A IDIOT, SHIA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT
They use Islam because that's the best tool to help their national, it unified all the people against the communist and shah loyalist. ESSENTIALLY They fought Russia and USA and WON. STOP BEING A SECTEST
Iran is Iraq’s bordering country our history many times has crossed over with Iraq’s there were many Iranians in Iraq (pre saddam) and many Iraqis in Iran they’re both shia majority countries and countries resisting imperialism and Saudi exported terrorism so what if Iran has influence its better than any other country having influence in Iraq long live 🇮🇶🇮🇷
@@pleasesubscribe7659every thing they are i dont admit all of their domestic activities but i admit their foreign policy its completely proud for every Iranian.
Say Thank you to the Persians that you don't have ISIS on your streets oh wait the Sunnis in Iraq supported them at first. Maybe you should join them you might've been forced to if you were living there
iran n Iraq are Muslim countries. they have centuries Islamic cultural and religious relationship. I feel nothing new if the relationship becomes deeper. this will sadden only the enemies of Islam. .
They call the shia arab slaves of Iran. Well I'd rather be slave to a muslim nation that shared thousands of years of history together then be to a zionist run nation of Jewmerica.
We Assyrian Christians , we stand in support with the Shias who are our brothers oppressed just like liberal Sunnis . Iran is our cultural friend ,we've been supportive of them since milleniums. Assyrian Christians and Shias have had very bad history of persecution by the jihad waged by United States of Saudi- America. Assyria once stood in these lands until Turks came in and wiped out 95% of local Assyrian population. Then came in Daesh (ISIS) which destroyed our 2 thousand year old churches and holy places including that of the prophets. We only look up to God ,now.
Someguy yes backstabbers yes. take some burnol, Hezbollah got asskicked bfr Russia came to help. Hezbollah in Syria is lynched like rats by Ahrar al sham. if hashd al shabi , tries to come to Syria, they will be bitched out. we see what links u hv with houthis. such backstabbers you are.
@زنده باد Everyone knows Iran's dream is the Persian Empire. By deceiving these people and encouraging the people of simple Iran to fight on the pretext of false religion. He is confusing the people with false speeches. Everyone is saying war against the United States. This is confusing the Iranian people and the Muslim people. Everyone means the United States has enmity with them. On the other hand, they have a secret relationship with the United States. Not only with the United States, they have a secret relationship with Israel. In words, Palestine speaks of help. But they never launched an attack on Israel without their own interests. Rather, they have harmed freedom-loving fighter Hamas. Israel helped. How many innocent Sunnis have been killed. Named fake Shiites. Shiites are not Muslims.
Amirhossein Bahrami no I’m not the village and city that I come from is to far from iran and I can’t speak or understand persian or sorani kurdish while I can arabic turkish and kurmanci Kurdish . I know you iranians are not proud of your self and always try to hide it away but just don’t try to force other people to be from your country because you can’t sorry it is just how it is.
I am a proud Persian Iranian and I say long live Iraq. If you read history books of the golden age of Islam they all mention Iraq as being the heart of Iranshahr ! We fought goddamned Saddam Hussein who invaded our country. We didn't fight the Iraqi people .
Iran-iraq are brothers same like Sunni-Shia and Arab-ajam USA can only create temporary division but they will unite again and this is expected. It was Saddam who started war backed by America the people of Iraq were with Iran even at that time. Now Saddam time is over. The same thing will happen in Saudi if the Saudi regime will get over then once again Saudi and Iran will unite. In short just put the Americans out. Everything will b fine
I do not know if Iraqis are Arab or if they just speak Arabic but they contributed a lot to the Islamic world in science ,art and culture similar to Iran.Iranian have respect for Iraqis because of that and we know they will be great again very soon .you would be wise to have them as friends
Arash M actually Arabs had many poets and were into literature more than science, the Arabian tribes moved forward in 7th century and they were able to establish themselves well in science since it's already been passed off by Greeks and Egyptians and Babylonians (science and mathematics) yes there are many arabian scientists nowadays but they work for the US. so they're Arab American.
xutubeuser2 yes I know today they work for USA but can you name a few of the most famous ones from the past or today which are born in Arabic peninsula it doesn't matter were they went after that
Arash, dont listen to him. Southern Iraqis are mostly arabs while northern ones are mixed mutts. It was persians who contributed to maths and sciences compared to lazy arabs.
The Day The Yanks invaded Iraq, I predicted that Iraq would become part of the Iranian Revolution from 1979. It was so Clear to me back then. I lived in Iran/ Afghanistan from 1975 - 1981, I spoke Farsi quiet well in those days!!! Long Live Iran & Iraq!!!
Just to mention the meaning of Iraq is "Lowland Iran" and baghdad is A iranic word! And remember Iraq ( Tisephon) was iran capital for more than of thousand year
@@umuta1969 hey to you are you familiar with iranic languages like persian or kurdish! In iranic language grammers whetter kurdish or persian k is a suffix relating to place showing smallness or lowness! In this case we have 2 regions, Iraq and irak one in mainland iran and another is iraq! Which means lowland iran! Read more, study more! Bag in iranic languages mean God or god related!
Mehmet Özdemir iran invade iraq ? why invade an ally? if we put iran vs turkey , iran should be focused on liberating it's historic land occupied by turkey , for example kurdistan. although i wouldn't think for them to go to war with each other any time soon.
Alireza Seri read history. ..mesoptemia before 6000 year . Iraq long long history before iran ...don't forget iran under control of arab for 1400 year ..

America's own making...To add salt to the wound, Saddam Hussain never had WMDs. America shot itself in the foot! Now America's best friend Israel is really worried about Iran and its aspirations in the region.
Hitman / Iraq was saved. 15% wahabis we’re ruling over 85% shia and Kurds . The party is over and the the 15 million wahabi and takfiris north of Persian gulf are either dead or exiled. Now let’s see who has the guts to attack Iraq .
Dear Irani brothers, don't play the shia card, any shia sunni competition hurts only muslims. I don't even know what shia sunni is, I only know muslim alhamdulillah. Salam and love from Bosnia to us all
Without iranian help whole iraq would occupied by Isrealy state(IS).Thanks Iran you are not like other muslim state.Go ahead---Love and Respect from Bangladesh,your muslim brother not Shia or Sunni.
@@murtadhaalkenani3876 I will not speak Arabic, I will only say that in order to make Iraq free from the influence of Iran, it is necessary to completely remove the Rafidah from power, as Saddam did
@@murtadhaalkenani3876 Yes, why didn’t you answer my other comment where I said that the Americans and Iranians saved your worthless Rafidite lives from the Islamic state that the truth hurts your eyes ❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@user-jo3dz2jw2f saddam had Rafidah Officers and Visited Karbala once , he even cooked qima in a video , my uncle is a Rafidah and he was a high ranking officer , digest it wahhabi. Iraq is for the iraqis , whether sunnis or shias. You are living in 2014
Well they are doing the same thing in Syria. America will create a power vacuum and Iran will fill it. Not all at once but they are patient and will succeed over time making Iran stronger and closer to Russia. America will never understand that despite the infighting in the Islamic world the people will always unite around their beliefs in Allah and Mohammad and act against the threats to their beliefs.
"Hezbollah should not be defending the criminal regime (Assad) that kills its own people and that has never fired a shot in defense of the Palestinians" "those Hezbollah fighters who are killing children and terrorizing people and destroying houses in Syria will go to hell" "ISIS is a creation of Russia, Iran and Syria" Former Hezbollah Secretary-General Subhi al-Tufayli
Way too much talking! Just needed to say: USA illegally invaded Iraq, & introduced Al Qaeds/ISIS into the region in 2003. Iran luckily was there to help stabilise the region. Turkey somehow fell in with the Al Qaeda types, and was lost for some years.
Ofcourse both iran and iraq have influence in each other countries. We are nighbours , we have long history and we are all muslim . Security of iran and iraq brings stability to our countries. Its like saying united states doesn’t have influence in canada or mexico !!
Ayatollah Al Khomani? At least get the names right! You never learn to know the realities in that region! Your first step should be correctly pronouncing names of the people and places.
