Samson:  Secret documents published for the first time explain how Iran exercises power in Iraq

18th November, 2019

A leaked classified Iranian intelligence document showed how the regime in Tehran exercises power in Iraq through Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, the New York Times reported on Monday.

The unprecedented leaks reveal Tehran's "tremendous" influence in Iraq, which shows years of hard work by Iranian spies to choose the country's leaders, pay the salaries of Iraqi proxies working for the Americans to change their positions and infiltrate every aspect of political, economic and religious life in Iraq. Iraq.

According to an Iranian intelligence cable, the current prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, worked in exile closely with Iran while Saddam Hussein was in power in Iraq. The cable indicates that Abdul Mahdi had a special relationship with Iran's Revolutionary Guards when he was oil minister in 2014.

According to the newspaper, one of the former senior US officials warned of his current downfall, "but no Iraqi politician can become prime minister without the blessing of Iran. When he became prime minister in 2018, he was seen as a compromise candidate acceptable to both Iran and the United States.

It offers an extraordinary glimpse into the Iranian secret regime. They also detail the extent to which Iraq has fallen under Iranian influence since the US invasion in 2003, which has turned Iraq into a gateway to Iranian power, linking the geography of the Islamic Republic to domination from the shores of the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean.

According to the newspaper, the Iranian intelligence reports that were leaked confirms largely what was already known about Iran's firm grip on Iraqi politics. But far more than previously known reports reveal the extent to which Iran and the United States are using Iraq as a launching pad for spy games.

The reports highlighted the complex domestic policy of the Iranian government, where rival factions are grappling with many of the same challenges faced by US occupation forces as they struggle to stabilize Iraq after the US invasion. The documents show how, at almost every turn, Iran has outperformed the United States in the competition for influence. The archive consisted of hundreds of reports and leaks mainly written in 2014 and 2015 by officers of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, who were working in the field in Iraq.   LINK

Spy, hunting trips and parties" .. Leaked documents from Iran's intelligence reveal Tehran's hidden role in Iraq

November 18, 2019

 Iran's Revolutionary Leader Ali Khamenei, Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, Iraqi Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr, and Revolutionary Guards commander Hossein Salami.

 Leaked secret Iranian documents expose Tehran's hidden role in meddling in the affairs of its neighbor Iraq, and the unique role of General Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force in the decisions taken in Baghdad

The documents are part of Iran's secret intelligence archive, obtained by The Intercept, which co-publishes with the New York Times simultaneously

In mid-October, tension in Baghdad was mounting, as political anger and corruption intensified and Iran interfered in Iraq through parties and militias loyal to the Khamenei regime

In such a heated atmosphere between the people and the government, Soleimani is disguised in Baghdad, while protesters march through the streets chanting Khamenei and burning the Iranian flag

Leaked documents from Iranian intelligence .. Iraqis fought ISIS and Tehran were spying

Soleimani goal

Soleimani's goal was to stabilize Adel Abdul Mahdi's government and to draw up plans to suppress a popular uprising that threatens Tehran's influence in Iraq. Suleimani met with an ally in parliament to persuade him to support Abdel Hadi's stay in office

The documents prove that Soleimani's role in Iraq is greater than the arrangement of alliances between political forces, and Tehran has been able to build a network of spies and agents planted in important political, economic and even religious institutions in Iraq

Secret intelligence documents revealed that Soleimani was instrumental in strengthening Tehran's influence inside Iraq

The investigators were able to obtain 700 pages of classified documents, which were translated from Farsi into English, to prepare a series of "The Iran cables" of five investigations with titles: (A spy complex revealed), (Iran shadow war on ISIS), (A secret summit). ), (The changing of the overlords), (The story behind the Iran cables)

The documents include hundreds of reports and correspondence written during 2014-2015 by officers of the Intelligence and Security of Iran (MOIS), and others teaching in the field in Iraq

The documents provide a glimpse from within the Iranian regime on how to gradually dominate Iraq after 2003, pointing out that Iran has overtaken the United States in extending its influence inside Iraq. Installing its arms and influence to pose new challenges within the country

Documents reveal "secret summit" .. Brothers and the Quds Force discussed in Turkey the alliance against Saudi Arabia

Meetings in dark alleys

Like any spy, the documents show that meetings have long been arranged in dark alleys, shopping malls, hunting trips and even during birthday parties

The informants were constantly waiting for American soldiers, especially those traveling through Baghdad airport. Detectives were taking pictures of them, trying to identify flights that might be military in nature

The documents revealed how informants and agents were paid for their work in favor of Iran, whether with gifts of pistachio, perfume, and saffron, or bribing Iraqi officials, and even expenses for Iraqi intelligence officers

For example, one telegram reports that Adel Abdul Mahdi, who worked with Iran from his exile closely during the era of Saddam Hussein, had a special relationship with Tehran, especially when he was Iraq's oil minister in 2014 (without describing the nature of the special relationship). )

A former senior US official had warned that a special relationship with Iran meant a lot of things, but not a client of the Iranian government. At the same time, no politician in Iraq can become prime minister without Iran's blessing, so when Adel Abdul Mahdi was nominated in 2018, he was seen as a consensual candidate for Iran and the United States

Jerusalem Corps

The cables show that the Revolutionary Guards, specifically the Quds Force, led by General Soleimani, oversee Iran's policies in Iraq, Lebanon and Syria, the countries most sensitive to Tehran. Iran's Revolutionary Guards

Documents suggest that "cultivating" Iraqi officials loyal to Iran was important, facilitated by forging alliances with many leaders who belonged to groups opposed to Saddam Hussein

"We have focused on appointing high-level officials in Iraq," said Giss Greche, a political analyst on Iraq

Recruit informants

Iran moved quickly after the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq in 2011 to attract former CIA informants to work for Tehran

In an undated telegram, Iranian intelligence began the process of recruiting an informant within the US State Department. I found him to be able to provide intelligence on US plans in Iraq and even deal with ISIS

The documents, dated November 2014, state that an Iraqi informant working for the CIA, surnamed Donnie Brasco, later became an Iranian intelligence agent with the title "Source 134992" at the time

He told "source 134992" the Iranians about all the information he knows about US intelligence in Iraq: safe house sites, the names of hotels where customers meet, details of weapons and training received, the names of other Iraqis working with him as spies, and increased that he was paid about $ 3000 per month He worked for the CIA for 18 months, plus a one-time $ 20,000 bonus and a car

In another telegram, an Iraqi intelligence officer tells his Iranian counterpart that he is willing to spy for Iran, particularly with regard to US activities in the country, and assures them "Iran is my second country." He also told them that he had received a letter from his boss in Baghdad, Maj. "Tell them we are at your service and everything you need at your disposal, we are Shiites and we have a common enemy," he said

The officer also offered his Iranian counterpart any intelligence from the Iraqi army at his disposal, as well as offering to give him the "secret targeting program" provided by the United States to the Iraqis, and told him, "If you have a laptop computer, give it to me so I can download it."

Missions of the spies of Iran

Although the published investigation describes some of the documents as comic or ridiculous as Iranian spies stormed a German cultural institute in Iraq, they returned empty-handed because they could not open the safe, which they had secret numbers, but it was apparently wrong, but some documents were very important, especially those Which reveals the personality of the agents and spies of the Iranian Intelligence Ministry who are patient, professional and professional

The main task of the spies is to prevent Iraq from collapsing, to prevent the presence of Sunni militants on the Iranian border, not to provoke a sectarian war that makes the Shiite community the targets of violence, and to prevent Kurdistan from leaving under Iraq's umbrella, threatening the security and safety of Iran

The Revolutionary Guards and General Soleimani have also sought to eliminate ISIS, but to keep Iraq's loyalty as an Iranian state, and to ensure that political factions loyal to Tehran remain in power

Maliki, Abadi and Jaafari

Iran has exploited the rise of ISIS to widen the gap between the Obama administration and the political class in Iraq

The report argued that Maliki, who lived in exile in Iran in the 1980s, was more favorable to Tehran than his British-educated replacement, Haider al-Abadi. But they found that many ministers were heavily loyal to him

In late 2014, Ibrahim al-Jaafari's telegram, who was prime minister and foreign minister, was listed as having a "special relationship" with Iran along the lines of their relationship with Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi

The atmosphere of Iraq

The documents revealed that the Iraqi Minister of Transport, in coordination with Qasim Soleimani, kept Iraqi airspace open to Iranian air, which may have been used to deliver weapons and ammunition into Syrian territory, in order to support forces loyal to Iran

She pointed out that the Minister of Transport then found himself in a confrontation with US pressure to stop Iranian air traffic in Iraqi airspace, but did not respond to it at all

Rock Cliff Operation

Telegrams showed that the 2014 Jurf al-Sakhr operation, which "cleared the area of ​​terrorist operatives," led to the displacement of Sunni families, military forces destroyed homes and the rest would be destroyed, and palm groves were uprooted to prevent terrorists from taking refuge

Other documents cited fears that Iranian gains at home could be squandered because Iraqis hated Shiite militias and Soleimani became a target symbol, calling for no photos of Soleimani on social media

American Presence

The investigation concluded that Iran may have lost to the United States in controlling Baghdad at certain stages, but was able to win the support of many southern areas, especially those belonging to the Shiite sect, and opened Tehran in many religious offices in the holy cities and published pictures of Ayatollah Khomeini On the streets, many Iranian students were sent to study in Iraq, also sent construction workers to build hotels and renovate shrines

He added that the rise of Iran as a strong player in Iraq was one of Washington's reasons, if it did not have a clear plan after the removal of the former regime, and the first years after the fall of Saddam Hussein was chaotic, there is no security, water or electricity

The investigation says that perhaps one of the most disastrous US policies on Iraq was the dismantling of the Iraqi armed forces and the purge of any Baath Party members under Saddam, in which most of the Sunni community was marginalized, which later left them unemployed and indignant. And pushed to target Americans and members of the Shiite sect as both

Fueling sectarianism

Fueling the Sunni-Shiite sectarian war seems to have benefited Iran, in which Iraqis have found it to be a “protectionist” against the Sunnis and ISIS, not to mention the US failure to impose security and protection in the country, making the Iranian Revolutionary Guard an opportunity to recruit and mobilize loyal militias for them

The leaked Iranian Ministry of Intelligence documents reveal that Tehran took advantage of the opportunities offered by the United States in Iraq. In the country, the US did not notice that it had given up informants in a country that was economically in need of protection and money   link
