Paul Bremer, former Civil Administrator of Iraq

---

Stop Fundamentalism, July 9 – Paul Bremer, the former Civil Administrator of Iraq in an exclusive interview with the Arabic language television Al-Hurra on July 7 called Iran’s involvement in Iraq a “dangerous and very negative role.”

Bremer who was answering questions said, “Since the outset, Iranians never played a helpful role in Iraq. In the past year, Iran intervened most in the internal affairs of Iraq.”

“Iranians have brought some techniques into Iraq that led to serious damages to British, American and Multi-National forces. Iranians have had the most activity in support of Iraqis who are at war with the MNFI” said Bremer.

About the Iranian intelligence activities in Iraq Bremer stressed, “The Intelligence and Propaganda ministries have been active in Iraq. In some instances, at least when I was the administrator in Iraq, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards sent units to Iraq and occasionally the Qods Corps’ forces were present in Iraq. General Sulaimani who commands the Qods forces, was present in Iraq. It seems to me that Iranian have thus played a dangerous role in Iraq.”

Stop Fundamentalism, July 2 – In a special report Assafir daily in Iraq said that Iran’s provocative role in Iraq is ironic. It adds fuel to the flames of violance through various forms of interference and on various scales to maintain the status quo in Iraq.
