Ahmadinejad warns Iran can help fill power gap in Iraq

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today boldly declared that Iran is ready to help fill an imminent power vacuum in Iraq, while also defending the neighbouring country’s embattled Shiite prime minister who has been criticised by US politicians.

“The political power of the occupiers is collapsing rapidly,” Ahmadinejad said at a press conference, referring to US troops in Iraq.
