Irfan Kanifard, an analyst on Middle East issues, referring to the appointment of the commander of the Ramadan base as the new representative of the Islamic Republic in Baghdad, said that Tehran is changing the pattern of its influence in Iraq from the political management of proxy forces to an operational and security focus.
He added that this appointment was made with the aim of rebuilding the command over proxy networks, curbing Iraqi armed groups and maintaining Iraq as the private life of the Islamic Republic against America and Israel.
