US behind Attack on Iran’s Consulate in Basra: Iraqi MP
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Iraqi parliamentarian warned against “a dangerous plot” hatched by the US government to destroy the Arab country’s southern city of Basra, saying that Washington is responsible for all recent incidents, including a mob attack on Iran’s consulate in the city.
“The demonstrations in the Basra Province were originally followed legitimate and real demands and we agree with all of them,” Faleh al-Khazali, the representative of Basra at the Iraqi parliament, told the Tasnim News Agency.
However, the demonstrations were derailed by some saboteurs and intruders, who set fire to the offices of political groups and the Iranian consulate, he said, adding that these moves are part of a plot hatched to destroy Basra.
Targeting the headquarters of the Hashd al-Shaabi, and attacking the hospital where the group’s wounded members had been admitted and burning photos of the martyrs indicate that there is “a bigger and more dangerous plot”, the Iraqi lawmaker said.
He went on to say that the US consulate in Basra accompanied by some civil organizations are completely held accountable for the recent incidents in the city.
In the Friday attack, a mob of Iraqi protestors stormed the Iranian Consulate in Basra, destroyed the diplomatic mission’s properties, took down the flag of Iran and torched the building.
Later in the day, the Foreign Ministry summoned the Iraqi ambassador to Tehran in protest at the attack and the Iraqi police’s inaction despite the recent threats against the Iranian diplomatic mission.
Eleven people have been reported killed in the violent protests against corruption and lack of basic services in Basra over the past week.
The Iranian consulate’s building was not the first to be set on fire. The angry demonstrators had earlier set government buildings ablaze as well. The buildings included the headquarters of the local government, the ruling Dawa Party, the Supreme Islamic Council and the Badr Organization.

BGG ~ Not hardly – however, I put this article in so everyone can see how ABSURD much of this recent political rhetoric is.
Not even close to the truth. However, it is a political cage match right now – and whoever loses DIES.
It is 3rd monkey time folks!!
On a serious note, and to highlight the point of this being a Shia/Iranian deflection campaign in full force…
The demonstrators burn down the local gov’t offices – The Gov of Basra is of the ISIC party (Hakim’s Wisdom movement)…
The demonstrators burn down the Dawa Party HQ (Maliki’s Dawa faction)…
The demonstrators burn down SIC offices… (more of Hakim’s crew)
and they burn out Badr Organization offices – (this would be part of Ameri’s gang).
Fast forward to Ameri and Sadr hob-nobbing for the cameras all weekend. Abadi was actually IN BASRA with staff working out solutions for the people. How does demonstrators being so pissed at the Shia hardliners that they burn all their offices down somehow QUALIFY THEM to form the next “strong government”? Figure that one out.
Short story – it doesn’t. Their people are sick of no solutions and tried burning the Iranian influence out of their country.
P.S. – Faleh al-Khazali is a known terrorist…

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – …there are three main issues yet to resolve prior to the RV. 1. HCL – So the HCL law was finally written to satisfaction and passed. There were many parts to it over the years. Now they must pay out a % excess oil revenues to the citizens (a law was passed in parliament…supposed to begin as of Sept 5th). Do they need to pay out prior to the reinstatement permission. YES, YES and YES again. Is this not a constitutional requirement? Well then…??? ; [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

Mnt Goat (Dinar Guru) – 3. Article 140 – this was promised by PM Abadi during the last election of 2014. It was also promised during the 2010 election by Nori al-Maliki and neither delivered on it. This was of course a major blunder on the part of PM Abadi 2014-2018 for, if he did deliver, there would be no further discussions and the Kurds would side with the Sadr Movement as they could then feel they could trust and move forward. So…all three of these needed points are not yet implemented or guaranteed. [post 3 of 3]
