A Triangle of Realpolitik: Iran, Iraq and the United States.

The article focuses on the collaboration between the U.S. and Iran to address the problem in Iraq. Washington and Teheran have set aside their conflicts and instead focus on the foe, that is, Iraq. Both countries have been discussing measures to deal with military emergencies and the flow of refugees if the U.S. attacks Iraq. Funds from the U.S. are given to the ayatollah for mobilizing anti-Saddam Shiites. Iran also has prepared temporary camps in preparation for the flow of refugees to its territory if the war starts.
