The part about Iranians celebrating the 27th anniversay really got my goat:
U.S. officials have long accused Iran of interfering in Iraq since the 2003 overthrow of Saddam Hussein. But Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has also said that Iran has a role to play in stabilizing Iraq, whose government is Shiite, like Iran's.
Some Western experts have said they believe Iran is genuinely worried about civil conflict in Iraq and its potential to spill over. Others say they believe hardliners in Iran may have an interest in causing turmoil in the country.
Iran's leaders are believed to have close links to some Iraqi leaders and clerics.
Sunday's announcement came a day after thousands of Iranians celebrated the 27th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover by militant students in Tehran. The U.S. broke off relations with Iran after the takeover, when 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days.
