US, Iran unite to keep Iraq PM in power: Report
The United States and Iran reportedly came together to put pressure on their allies in Iraq to block attempts to unseat Iraq's PM Haider al-Abadi. US officials claimed removing al-Abadi would "be deeply counterproductive" to the campaign against the Islamic State. The Opposition sought to unseat al-Abadi after his attempt to fill the cabinet with non-political candidates to fight corruption.
