Foreign Correspondence

Isn’t Iran the main motivational force or close behind Muqtada Al Sadr? With the ongoing collusion between Iran and Syria I would venture that probably Iran was one of the architects of the '1 million' people demonstration in support of Syria and as such is perhaps behind Sadr’s march?

Reference:
Iran's worry, on the other hand, is that a stable Iraq will be used against it, that the new Iraq may be added to the Gulf Cooperation Council thus enhancing the hands of United Arab Emirates, which is in dispute with Iran over three Persian Gulf islands, and that the regional security framework will be reshaped to the detriment of Tehran's interests, not to mention the insecurity over US military bases near Iran's borders and the occasional US-Israel threats of surgical strikes inside Iran against its nuclear facilities.
