Growth of Islamic Extremism, a Byproduct of Nuclear Talks with Iran

Involving Iran in the Iraq crisis will neither stop their nuclear bomb ambitions, nor ISIS. In fact, it will actually strengthen the ISIS terror machine and the extremely violent crimes seen by Shiite militants

While U.S. President Barack Obama is pressing to finalize a nuclear agreement with Iran, a growing number of congressmen and officials from allied states, especially in the Middle East, are expressing deep concerns over the framework of the deal being shaped.

During the course of these talks, the Obama administration is reluctant in showing any reaction vis-a-vis Iran’s increasing crusade to expand its influence across the Middle East; in fact it appears the administration is ready to provide Tehran a power-role in the region, which will come at the expense of the people of Middle East nations—especially in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.

While Obama is seeking “negotiations for the sake of negotiations,” Iranian leaders are escalating their activities to wreak havoc and instability in U.S.-allied nations throughout the region, from Bahrain to Morocco. Tehran-supported Houthis have recently overthrown the U.S.-backed government in Yemen.

After seizing political power in Iran in 1979, the mullahs realized their dream of founding the first ‘Islamic caliphate’ in modern Iran.

Following grave mistakes made by the U.S. and Coalition forces in attacking and occupying Iraq in 2003, and disrupting the existing balance of power in the region, the Iranian regime—seeking to preserve its own rule—stepped up its adopted policy of exporting fundamentalism and terrorism, upgrading its influence in the Middle East in general, with its main focus on Iraq.

Among leverages used by Iran to further its ends in the Middle East region is the establishment of Shiite militia groups in Iraq and Syria, which are linked to the Iran’s terrorist Quds Force and its infamous commander,Qassem Suleimani. The model used by Suleimani is the Lebanese Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy that has had a major role in implementing Iran’s policy of exporting terrorism and extremism.

Iran’s plan is to organize and equip all Quds Force-associated Shiite militant forces in Iraq into an official military body

In January 2014, after former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki (a major ally of the Iranian regime) failed miserably to quell protests in the country’s Sunni areas through his security forces, the Iranian regime decided to boost its efforts by establishing a force in Iraq similar to its own Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The first step was using militant groups such as Asaeb al-Haq, Kataib Hezbollah and the 9^th Badr Corps, all fundamentally established, groomed and trained in Iran under the command of Hadi al-Ameri, Maliki’s former minister of transportation. Ameri is amongst the tens of thousands of Iraqi agents on the payroll of the Quds Force.

In a press conference in May 2014, Salar Abnush, commander of the IRGC unit based in Iran’s Ghazvin Province, said, “We have recently witnessed the establishment of the IRGC in other countries, including Iraq.”

Iran’s plan is to organize and equip all Quds Force-associated Shiite militant forces in Iraq into an official military body playing a role similar to that of the IRGC.

This plot is pursued by Iraqi National Security Advisor Falih Fayyadh who is in charge of the so-called ‘popular mobilization units’ (PMU) in this country.

Iran is following a similar policy in Syria, where Quds Force commanders established a force called the National Defense after the forces of the embattled strongman Bashar al-Assad suffered major defeats and setbacks from the Free Syrian Army.
