To meet with the Iranians when they are our puppet.
TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- The biggest hurdle standing in the way of peace in Iraq is the presence of American troops there, Iran's Supreme Leader told Iraq's visiting prime minister on Monday, according to Iranian media reports.
Iran's semi-official FARS news agency reported that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki during their meeting on Monday that the U.S. role in Iraq is the same as that of Iraq's former British rulers -- to create divisions after Iraq's independence.
"We are certain that the Iraqi people, through their will and unity, will cross the current difficult conditions and will reach the place that they deserve, and the Americans' dream about Iraq will not come true, " said Khamenei, according to FARS.
"The occupiers who, without having any rights, interfere in Iraqi affairs through their military and security powers, imagine that the Iraqi people and government are indebted to them," he said. "These are the greatest threat."
