"British forces were engaged in a "proxy war with Iran" in the south of Iraq, the officer who planned this week's withdrawal from Basra Palace said today.
Lt Colonel Patrick Sanders, commanding officer of the battlegroup which pulled out to an airbase outside the city, admitted there was still a significant threat from militias linked to Tehran. He said: "We are engaged - or we have been engaged - effectively in a proxy war with Iran and if that resumes then they will need us to help."
Ahmadinejad to meet Palestinian leaders
Iranian leader praised the Palestinian organizations for staying true to the path of "armed struggle," the report said. "The Palestinian problem is still a gaping wound for the entire Islamic world and nations of the region," Ahmadinejad said. "The only way to treat it is through the resistance of the Palestinian nation, along with faith, unity and an unwavering stance." He said no one could defeat the Arabs of Palestine, and promised that the world's superpowers were headed for destruction.
