Is this the Iraqi government trying to be friends with Iran or what.

Whole new can of worms...

Seems logical from the Iraqi point of view...

This is why

During the war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980s, MEK members were given refuge in Hussein's Iraq, and they are widely suspected to have participated in violent crackdowns against Kurdish and Shiite uprisings.

Payback time I guess. Typical in Iraq. Blood for blood.

The potential new Supreme Leader of IRAN studied for many years under Moqtada Al-Sadr's Dad. So he was BFF with Al-Sadr's pops, and he was once leader of the main Shia faction which controls the IRAQI parliment now(as well as the Badr Brigade). Now he'll probably be the next leader of IRAN.

Actually the Sadrist are one of the weaker factions in the Iraqi Parliament and Iraqi Government, and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq lost votes in the last provincial election and had to disband the Badr Brigade after the Battle of Basra. The State of Law Party (the Dawa Party that is transforming itself to a nationalist party) is winning votes.

However, Iran and Iraq will have good official relationships in the near future, they both will benefit from it. Also, the anti-Iranian government terrorists are not good for Iraq as they destroy relationships that may benefit and give Iran a reason to interfere in Iraq. Same as the PKK.
