Iran’s Land-Bridge Through Iraq
Iraq’s Security Forces Were Built To Facilitate IRGC Hegemonic Goals
The areas where this anti-IRGC Coalition can disrupt this land-bridge are in the Sunni Arab and Kurdish areas of Iraq – The issue: Iran is “The Strongest Tribe” right now and Sunni tribes are waiting for the US to counter what they believe we empowered: IRGC militias.

The IRGC-QF militias are now official ISF units – they have access to US Funds and Equipment. They are hijacking the US Train and Equip Program. The Peshmerga is no longer in the ISF. There are no Sunni Arab brigades, battalions, or companies left in the ISF. Iran’s IRGC-QF has effectively co-opted the MOD and MOI through its premier IRGC-QF proxy BADR – giving IRGC-QF militias primacy.
