Iraq shares the longest land border with Iran and has a majority population of Shiite Muslims. When, Ruhollah Khomeini, the regime\u2019s founder, came to power, he called on the Iraqi army to conduct a coup-d\u2019\u00e9tat to topple their government. This, along with other provocative actions by Khomeini, triggered the Iran-Iraq war. Despite a peace plan proposed by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"NCRI (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/national-council-of-resistance-of-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\">NCRI<\/a>) and the willingness of the Iraqi government to stop the devastating war, Iran\u2019s regime insisted on pursuing this war. Its continuation of the war was not an act of self-defense. Khomeini\u2019s slogan that \u201cWe will conquer Jerusalem through Karbala\u201d demonstrated his intention of prolonging this war and achieving his long sought goal of forming a caliphate. The result of this war was millions of casualties on both sides.\u00a0 After Khomeini\u2019s death, his successors continued the strategy of warmongering and exporting terrorism. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps\u2019 external wing, the <a aria-label=\"IRGC Quds Force (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2019\/04\/12\/irgc-maryam-rajavi-mek\/\" target=\"_blank\">IRGC Quds Force<\/a>, started to form and train Shiite militia groups. The Gulf wars and fall of Saddam were miracles to the Iranian regime. It used these opportunities and via its proxy groups in Iraq gradually occupied this country and put its agents in key positions of the Iraqi government. In 2004, the NCRI revealed lists, names and accounts of over 32,000 paid agents of the mullahs\u2019 regime in Iraq. The Iran-backed government of Nuri-Al-Maliki, imposed a medical siege, at the behest of the Iranian regime, on the main Iranian opposition group, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/peoples-mojahedin-pmoi-mek-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\">PMOI, Mujahedin-e Khalq or MEK<\/a>), and attacked them at their base Camp Ashraf, near the border with Iran. As a result, more than 140 MEK members were either murdered or died due to the inhumane medical siege. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the beginning of a popular\nuprising in Iraq on October 1, the world witnessed the frustration and anger of\nthe Iraqi people towards the Iranian regime\u2019s meddling in Iraq and its puppet\ngovernment. The videos showed the Iranian regime\u2019s agents and its Popular\nMobilization Forces (PMF) killing innocent civilians in cold blood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian regime tried, through\nits propaganda machine, to shift the blame on other parties. The NCRI, based on\nthe intelligence the MEK gathered via its sources from inside the Iranian\nregime, revealed the active role of the regime and its Quds Force in\nsuppressing the Iraqi people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1) Rouhani\u2019s remarks acknowledged mullahs\u2019 terrorist regime meddling in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iraq?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iraq<\/a> &amp; the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IRGC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IRGC<\/a> is dispatching forces 2 this country under the pretext of providing security &amp; protection 4 a so-called religious ceremony<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DebbieAAldrich?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DebbieAAldrich<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KennyFarq?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KennyFarq<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QeTfO1uiu2\">https:\/\/t.co\/QeTfO1uiu2<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UTb6gxc8ST\">pic.twitter.com\/UTb6gxc8ST<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Dowlat Nowrouzi (@DowlatNowrouzi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DowlatNowrouzi\/status\/1182758938141495296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 11, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is an excerpt of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-fundamentalism\/26746-widespread-presence-of-iranian-regime-s-irgc-quds-force-in-iraq-under-diplomatic-cover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the NCRI factsheet (opens in a new tab)\">the NCRI factsheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>National Council of Resistance of Iran \u2013 October 9,\n2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For the past week, Iraq has\nbeen burning in the flames of the protests of a disgruntled population over the\npoor state of people\u2019s livelihoods.
