flag Iraqi scholar denies Iraq sending troops to Iran, calling cross-border militia actions unauthorized and warning against U.S. intervention.

flag Iraqi scholar Sheikh Ghaith Al-Tamimi says Iraq has no intention of sending military forces to Iran amid protests, dismissing claims of thousands of Iraqi militiamen crossing into Iran as likely unauthorized, voluntary actions by Iran-backed Shiite groups. flag He asserts Iran’s security forces, including the IRGC and the 8-million-member Basij militia, are strong enough to suppress unrest without external help. flag Al-Tamimi doubts protests alone can remove Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei without major outside intervention, particularly from the U.S., and warns that removing him could destabilize Iraq and the region due to Iran-aligned groups’ influence.
