The US newspaper claims that hundreds of Iranian intelligence reports have been leaked, revealing how deeply Tehran’s influence has been in Iraq, currently undergoing public protests after a decade of civil war. The New York Times reports that the 700-page report they received has been confirmed most of these reports were produced in 2014 and 2015 by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security. According to the source of the report, the secret sources said that we want the world to know what Iran is doing in Iraq, my country.

The US newspaper said in its report that the documents provide detailed explanations of how Tehran is aggressively involved in Iraqi affairs and has a unique role for General Qasem Soleimani. General Qasem Soleimani heads the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps ‘elite Quds Force’ and looks at Iranian affairs in Iraq and travel to Iraq during political tensions. According to a foreign news agency AFP report, General Qasem Soleimani recently chaired several meetings in Baghdad and Najaf during a public protest in Iraq, to prepare political parties to support Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi. According to Iranian intelligence reports, the current prime minister of Iraq, Adel Abdel Mahdi, was named the best relations with Iran when he had the oil ministry in 2014. According to AFP, the Iraqi prime minister’s office did not respond to these revelations when contacted. Former Iraqi Prime Ministers Haider al-Abadi and Ibrahim al-Jafari, as well as Speaker of the Parliament Salim al-Jabouri, have also been cited in secret documents as being politicians close to Iran.

According to the New York Times, Iran had abundant access to the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2011 to which he said the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had rendered its assets unemployed in Iraq. According to the report, after returning to the US, these sources approached Iran and offered to inform them of CIA activities in Iraq in exchange for money. The newspaper claims that on one occasion, an Iraqi military intelligence officer arrived in the holy city of Karbala from Baghdad to meet with an Iranian intelligence agency official. According to the report, the Iraqi official told his officer in a 3-hour long meeting that Lieutenant General Hatem al-Maksusi had conveyed the message to Iran that all Iraqi military intelligence should be imagined.

The New York Times reports that Lieutenant General Hatem al-Maksusi offered to send information to the Iraqi prime minister’s office and the US-based system for hearing intelligence in phones operating under military intelligence, ready to give to Iran. It should be remembered that Iraq declared victory against ISIS two years ago, while the United States withdrew a large number of its troops. Iraq launches nationwide protest in October against government action that has led to the worst bloodshed and more than 200 people lost their lives while protests continue. Demonstrators demand that the current government and all the politicians involved are corrupt, so they should be completely excluded from government affairs. And the basic reforms should be made by establishing a new government.
