aujourd’hui<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abAngered by the mounting toll of troops killed by ever-more sophisticated devices, US commanders insisted last month that the White House give them authority to target and kill Iranian operatives in Iraq as part of the new 21,500-troop surge’ strategy ordered by Mr Bush.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBut the State Department, headed by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and the CIA had argued against openly targeting Iranian agents, most of whom claim to be diplomats based at Teheran’s network of consulates, liaison offices and cultural offices in Iraq.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThey contended that this approach could escalate into direct armed conflict with Iran, which is under intense international pressure to give up its nuclear programme.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe State Department and the CIA, which both objected to the way the Bush administration used pre-war intelligence on Iraq, also wanted to publicise clear evidence of Iranian interference in Iraq as a way of justifying the US stance.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe military’s highest echelons really do not want the release of details of what Iran is up to as they don’t want the Iranians to know what’s working and what’s not, the administration adviser said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe military and the State Department and CIA are coming at this from very different approaches. State and the CIA believe we should respect the supposed diplomatic immunity of these Iranians. But the military has had enough and they say to hell with their fake diplomatic immunity’.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
