NCRI, 13 October 2010 – The spokesman for the al-Iraqiya bloc told an Arab language TV on Sunday ‎that the US Vice President Joe Biden had said in his recent visit to Iraq that an Iraqi ‎government formed at the behest of the Iranian regime is a “red line” for ‎Washington.‎
Heydar Molla revealed in an interview with al-Hurra TV that Mr. Biden had outlined ‎three red lines for Washington when it comes to Baghdad’s next government. The ‎first red line, Mr. Molla said quoting Mr. Biden, would be the creation of a ‎government in Baghdad on the basis of the Iranian regime’s will. He also said the ‎US Vice President called for a government that would end Iranian regime meddling ‎in Baghdad.‎
The second red line for Washington, according to Molla, was that the Sadrist ‎movement should not end up being a significant player in the next government, and ‎the third red line was that the Iraqiya bloc, which won the March parliamentary ‎elections in Iraq, should have an active and effective role in the next Iraqi ‎administration.‎
 
Mr. Molla also said, “During the Iraqiya delegation’s visit to Saudi Arabia, we made ‎clear the views and opinions of the Iraqi people in their opposition to the Iranian ‎regime’s meddling.”‎
He added, “Al-Iraqiya delegations have visited and will continue to make more visits ‎to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the rest of our regional neighbours in order to ‎employ all its resources to end the Iranian regime’s meddling in Iraq’s internal ‎affairs.”‎
