The revolution is complete

The Iranian revolution that is...

Decades after the revolution ended its attempt to secure Shi'a Iraq for the envisioned greater Islamic state, the clerics have their victory.

A senior Iranian cleric welcomed on Friday the establishment of an Islamic republic in Iraq and hailed the countryÂs new constitution as one based on "Islamic precepts".

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, who heads the powerful ultra-conservative Guardian Council, told worshippers in Tehran's Friday prayers, "Fortunately, after years of effort and expectations in Iraq, an Islamic state has come to power and the constitution has been established on the basis of Islamic precepts".

"We must congratulate the Iraqi people and authorities for this victory", he said.

Jannati, who is a top confidant of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that all justice-seeking counties of the world "have no model other than the Islamic revolution in Iran to turn to".

"Lebanese Hezbollah and the state of Iraq are not the only supporters of the Islamic revolution", he said.

Referring to the West as Global Arrogance, the hard-line cleric said, "No matter how many stones they throw in our path, they cannot prevent the spread of the Islamic revolution in the world".

...

Whether or not you think there was a plan by Iran to gain de facto control of Iraq, the outcome, as appears now, certainly favors Iran. Look out for some interesting backpedaling and backstabbing in the coming years; God forbid decades.
