IRAQ & IRAN PLANNING 'FINAL SOLUTION' TO THE ASHRAF CRISIS

"The Government of Iraq is continuously working on its plan to attack Ashraf and massacre the residents. Based on information received, on November 23, the Iraqi Government's Committee tasked with the suppression of Ashraf sent a number of the Iranian regime’s intelligence agents to the military operation headquarters of Diyala province to consult closely on the operation for the impending attack on Ashraf. According to another report, the mullahs’ intelligence service (MOIS) and the terrorist Quds Force have asked Diyala Operation headquarters to have a number of intelligence agents fly over Ashraf by helicopter, to identify ‘sensitive locations' that can be targeted in the attack. "Yesterday the Iranian regime orchestrated an attack on the British Embassy in Tehran. Weeks ago their plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the US was uncovered in Washington. They continue to develop nuclear weapons with which they will threaten the peace and stability of the Middle East and the world. They are a pariah state and let’s be clear, it is the Iranian regime that runs Iraq. The Iraqi coalition government was created in Tehran. Nouri Al-Maliki takes his orders from the mullahs and the mullahs have ordered the annihilation of Ashraf.
