Shiite Iran Deploys Forces to Fight al Qaeda-Inspired Sunni Militants in Iraq
Shiite Revolutionary Guard Forces Help Shiite Iraqi Troops Win Back Control of Most of Tikrit from Sunni's, Sources Say
The leaders of Iran don't think of Iran as a nation with normal political functions. The leaders of Iran are Shiite Islamists, and they are determined to not only make Islam the ruling force in the entire world, but they are determined to make Shiite Islam the ruling force. They are as eager to slaughter Sunni Islamists as they are Christians, and only slightly less eager than they are to kill Jews.
The history of Iran's emergence as a rogue nation started with the Shiite revolution under Ayatollah Khomeini during the Carter administration. In the early days of that regime, Iran was purged of Jews, Christians, and Sunni Muslims. Iran's war with Iraq was essentially a Shiite-on-Sunni war.
Iran doesn't give a rat's pizzle about ISIS, Iraq, or any other such realities. All they care about is slaughtering non-Shiite Muslims. This hardly makes them ally material.
