 Iran Focus - Iran has ordered its “agents” in Iraq to rig the parliamentary elections on Thursday, according to an Iraqi website.
The plan is to be carried out in three stages, the website Iraq al-Qad wrote on Wednesday.
The first stage involves voting multiple times with forged ballots.
There will also be widespread propaganda to mislead ordinary Iraqis to
vote for the pro-Iran Shiite slate led by the cleric Abdul-Aziz
al-Hakim.
During the second stage, Tehran’s agents will attempt to tamper with
the records of all the ballot boxes at the end of the polls, the report
said.
The third stage is when the final voting slips are delivered to the
provincial capitals to be transferred to the United Nations’ tally
centre. Tehran has ordered its agents, some of whom have senior
official positions, to tamper with the votes in certain provinces.
