13. Well that is the same thing. He likes US being there because it
keeps the Sunnis & the Shiites from having to make do with each other and benefits Iran in the long term - as they would like to influence the Shiites in Iraq. Iranians are not arab shiites - but shiites none the less.

More influence - more power (oil). As long as the Sunnis do not get together with the Shiites and have to find peace together. It benefits Iran. And Iran is very aware of geopolitics - that is why they started a oil trading market in Terahn.
