There is a website called A Time To Betray that is run by Reza Kahlili (a pseudonym for a CIA operative formerly in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard). He is no longer in Iran, but runs a website and reports on events related to Iran and terrorism.
Today A Time To Betray posted a story about Ahmad Vahidi, the Iranian Defense Minister, who is scheduled to visit Baghdad in the near future.
According to the article:
"A high-ranking delegation, including military and defense officials, will accompany Vahidi during the visit. The Iranian delegation will meet with Iraqi officials to discuss the regional developments and boost military and defense cooperation."
Countries in the Middle East have learned that it is in their best interest to align themselves with a strong horse rather than a weak one. Unfortunately when America has a weak or uncertain President, Middle Eastern countries look for support elsewhere. Unfortunately, we will see much more of this for the next year and a half.
The article further reports:
"Mr. Vahidi is on the Interpol's most wanted for the bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires in 1994, which killed 85 and injured hundreds. As the defense minister, Mr. Vahidi is directly responsible for the Iranian nuclear bomb and missile programs, and is also in charge of the proliferation of arms to Syria, Venezuela, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Taliban, and North African countries.
"The Iranian leaders will see Mr. Vahidi's trip to Iraq as a victory over America, as it was his very policies that armed the Iraqi Shiite militias meant to harm and bring down U.S. forces in Iraq."
I hope our leaders are paying attention. This is not a positive development.
