Iran has taken a page from its playbook
post-election chaos in the US last year. Iran’s Tasnim media group has said Iraq’s recent elections have been manipulated and the results of the elections should be questioned. One analyst has argued that “cybers” can be used to “control” the process electronically.
In short, Iran is moving towards “stopping piracy”. much like in the US after the election in 2020 when some argued that voting machines had received
Ballot “Dump” Or other conspiracies were averted, Iran is concerned that something happened in Iraq that caused its favorite candidates to perform as expected.
“There is evidence of a change in the figures announced by the Iraq Electoral Commission, and among them there are those who want to turn Iraq’s political pole in their favor with Washington’s agreement to change the outcome of the election,” Iranian media reported. Gave.
The plot is clear, Iran thinks. Washington has tried to influence the elections. This is a reminder of the claims that
Russia’s interference in the US election in 2016. Iran has learned, it seems from the West, that the best way to undermine the election or its aftermath is to spread various rumors and stories. “These parties seek to establish a government that takes care of the United States in Iraq, and evidence suggests that election results are controlled via satellite by the United States and its allies, and that voting results can be accessed by satellite and replayed.” After submission.” Iranian media said.
Now manual recounting is going on in Iraq. Five provinces have been affected. “United Arab Emirates manipulation of Iraqi election voting servers in favor of a particular section,” Tasnim News says. This secondary conspiracy involves not only Washington filling out electronic ballots, but the Gulf as well.

Iraq has a new biometric election system designed to cut down on corruption. However, the pro-Iranian Fatah coalition did not perform as well as it did in previous elections. The coalition is made up of pro-Iran fighters, many of whom were involved in suppressing protests in 2019.
The report in Tasnim said, “An informed source said that after the recounting of votes by the High Election Commission, the seats of the Al-Fatah coalition have risen to 21 seats and that of the State of Law coalition to 40 seats.” ” In fact, it seems that Iran has shipped some of its IRGC Heavy to Iraq to ensure that Temni Hall’s version of Iran is as good as they should be.
“The solution to the election results crisis is to count the votes manually in the presence of representatives of political groups, as the UAE manipulates the servers of the voting machines to change the results in favor of the political groups that are projecting . to dissolve the popular rebellion,” said a tweet by a commenter. “Undoubtedly, any group that opposes manual counting is involved in electoral fraud.”
This means that the way Iran and its operatives appear to be undermining election results through a “stop piracy” campaign in the media. Then Iran and its allies in Iraq demand
manual matters and claim that those who do not accept them are involved in fraud. Recounting him miraculously would get more votes for Iran’s allies.
After the US election in 2020, major social media tried
reduce conspiracies Regarding electoral rigging which was going on on a large scale. It is unclear whether social media will stop over Iran’s attempt to muddy the waters in Iraq. What is clear is that Iran is preparing a full court press to change the election results in Baghdad, or at least slightly alter them to get the results they want.
it is considered
IRGC Quds Force has sent a delegation to Baghdad that will work to form the next Iraqi government by bringing together pro-Iranian groups such as the Fatah Alliance and Nouri al-Malaki’s State of Law Party. Maliki was seen as a sectarian thug when he fled Iraqi prior to the war on ISIS. Oddly, his sluggish behavior at the time was partly encouraged by Washington, which, under the pre-Obama administration, saw Iraq in need of a stronger man. It turned out that Maliki’s “strong man” qualities were merely a stand-off for Iran and that he isolated half the country, leaving it in the hands of many Sunni extremists who had gathered around ISIS. He also alienated the Kurds, whose autonomous region then called for an independence referendum. Maliki’s long web of sectarianism can be seen in Kirkuk where Kurds were harassed by security forces after the election.
