I was browsing the news today, I noticed that everybody is writing about the war option with Iran and all the debates are going in the direction of:
Is the US going to attack Iran or not?
But no one mentioned one weapon available to Iran but not to the US.
Being not Iran or the US fan, I think it’s for the benefit of Iraq to see such confrontation, but the problem is If it’s happen (which I doubt it’s ever going to happen) both sides are going to choose Iraq as a war ground.
With one word from the clerics in Iran they can mobilize every Shiia on earth to fight against the US, including Iraqi Shiia.
If such Fatwa issued by Iran, even Sistani can do nothing about it only to accept because the Iranian spiritual leader is in much higher status in the Shiia pyramid religious hierarchy , nothing happened yet and Shiia clerics are rallying to give their support to Iran, here is Al-Sadr for example “
So if you want to discuses Iran-US war option keep in mind the power of the fatwa.
Side note
The same in Iraq (Chalabi and gang), in Iran there are also Iranian opportunists who wants to come to power as soon as possible.
