Shia militants in Iraq have threatened to attack US interests in Iraq if it goes ahead with Syria Strike. This development would push the world towards a war of the world war scale. The major comfort for the powers that be was the expectation that this war would be fought between the Muslim countries and sectarian groups. With the latest threat by Iraqi Shia militants, the West could be robbed of this comfort.
Major objectives of this war for anti-Assad countries are to cripple Syria and force Bashar al Assad to step down and, if possible attack Iran to take out its nuclear capability. Both these objectives suit Israel and Saudi Arabia (read: Wahabi Islam); both of them feel threatened by the growing influence of Iran and its nuclear program. By extension, these objectives suit the US and its Western allies as they would have the opportunity to deal with Islam the way they always wanted. Interesting, the most precious war assets employed by the US in the garb of Syrian opposition fighting pitched battles with Syrian army are elements of al Qaeda, otherwise considered as Americas enemy number one.
It is generally believed that a possible American attack on Syria would destabilize the entire Middle Eastern region where the battle lines have been drawn up between two-religious sects; Shias backed by Iran and Hezbollah living in Iran, Iraq, Bahrain and Syria and Sunnis backed by Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Syria has silent supporters among a vast Sunni majority, not only in Middle East but elsewhere who do not approve of Saudi support to al Qaeda in Syria to topple Assad regime. They do not approve of the arrogance of oil-rich Saudis and their desire to dominate and lead Muslim Ummah and export their brand of conservative Islam and push it down the throat of an overwhelming majority of peace-loving Muslims around the world. Saudi Arabia and its allied are so desperate to topple Assad regime that they have offered to pay all costs to the US if it attacks Syria the way it did in Iraq.
As the events are unfolding and it is almost certain that the US, under pressure from Israel and Saudi Arabia, will launch an attack sidelining UN concerns, there are disturbing development being reported. In a recent report, it has been by CBC News with Iranian-backed Shiite militias are threatening to retaliate against American interests inside Iraq if the United States goes ahead with strikes against the Tehran-allied government in Syria, according to Iraqi security officials and militants themselves. The threats, which come as U.S. President Barack Obama's administration and Congress debate possible military action over the Syrian regime's alleged use of chemical weapons, risk exacerbating an increasingly deteriorating security environment inside Iraq.
The Wall Street Journal also reported in its Friday edition that the U.S. intercepted an order from Gen. Ghasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's elite Quds Force, telling Iraqi militias to prepare to strike American interests inside Iraq. The Journal report quoted unnamed American officials, who said the U.S. Embassy was a potential target. The Quds Force oversees external operations of the Guard throughout the world.
Iraq's Shia-led government, which is officially neutral on the Syrian civil war, has bolstered ties with Shia heavyweight Iran in the years since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and it is concerned about the threat posed by Sunni extremists, including Iraq's al-Qaeda branch, fighting among the rebels. The government has vowed to prevent such attacks.
