It seems a serious hole in the Shia world is in the making.
Iraq is drifting towards its Arab neighbour Saudi Arabia, leaving Iran further isolated.
The article says that Muqtada Sadr has long been a critic of Iran's influence.
And Saudi Arabia is opening a consulate in Najaf.
All this is very ominous of a greater Wahabi influence in the Muslim world and beyond.
I personally think Iraq should move closer to KSA ONLY under the condition that they restore Jannat ul Baqi and agree to joint control of Mecca and Medina by all Muslim nations.
What do you guys think?
