Iran Prepared to Fill Iraq Power Vacuum

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Tuesday that a power vacuum is imminent in Iraq and said that Iran was ready to help fill the gap.
"The political power of the occupiers is collapsing rapidly," Ahmadinejad said at a press conference in Tehran, referring to U.S. troops in Iraq. "Soon, we will see a huge power vacuum in the region. Of course, we are prepared to fill the gap, with the help of neighbors and regional friends like Saudi Arabia, and with the help of the Iraqi nation."


I'm surprised that Tehran would be so blunt about it. But yeah, once Ahmadinejad and co realized they needn't fear their worst case scenario - A sustainable US backed and potent Iraqi government - any motivation they had to negotiate with the US on how to bring the conflict to a close flew out the window. All they need to do is just wait.
They've calculated that a US withdrawal from the region is a "when" scenario and not an "if" one. At this point, the Iranians should have no problem extending it's influence far beyond it's borders and into Iraq. The US can contain Iran to a certain degree militarily but the writing is on the wall. :usa:

One thing I just don't get...the line about Saudi Arabia...I'm pretty sure that the Sunni Arabs aren't really eager to work with the Iranians, even if they do both hate Americans. :wtf:

Abusing power since 2006

I agree with you on that part, I think Ahmadinejad is counting his chicks before they've hatched. Look, most of the nations in the Middle East are Muslim and hate Israel and Jews, but they hate the other kind of Muslim even more and have a more extensive history of hate, IMO Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey won't stand for Iraq becoming an Iranian puppet state. This should turn out to be very interesting, since Israel will side with the Sunnis the central mid east conflict will turn from Jew vs. Muslim to Sunni vs. Shiite. Plus the result will be a Kurdish apocalypse, since Turkey will have free reign to attack their bases.

EDIT: This makes for good debate ;)
