Iranian Commander Urged Escalation Against U.S. Forces in Iraq
(Reuters) Iranian Revolutionary Guards intelligence chief Hossein Taeb urged Iraqi Shi'ite militias to step up attacks on U.S. targets during a meeting in Baghdad last week, three militia sources said. American forces in Iraq and Syria were attacked several times following the visit. A senior official in the region, who was briefed by Iranian authorities, said that Taeb conveyed "the supreme leader's message to them about keeping up pressure on U.S. forces in Iraq until they leave the region."
