"US State Department officials have expressed “serious concerns” today after it was revealed that Iraq has signed a $195 million arms deal with neighboring Iran. They claim this violates the arms embargo on Iran, though since this was supposed to keep Iran from buying weapons, not selling them, the allegation is unclear.
The deal was apparently reached in November, shortly after Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s most recent visit to the US. During that
visit, he sought more weapons from the US as well."

I wonder if our tough anti-Iranian stance will be able to make any more allies out of former enemies for them.
