In case you do not see it in your paper or TV, Iran has called for an end to the fighting in Iraq.

McClatchy provides a lot of important detail about Sunday's surprising developments regarding the fight between the Iraqi government and the Mahdi Army. A parliamentary delegation from Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's own coalition (mainly now the Da`wa Party and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq) defied him by going off to the holy seminary city of Qom in Iran and negotiating directly with Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr and with the leader of the Quds Brigades of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Brig. Gen. Qasim Sulaymani.
Prof. Cole's reference to McClatchy provides a link to them. They are, by the way, a superlative news agency.
When I read such things, I find it hard to understand much Bush-speak about Iran. However, I find Bush-speak to be a primitive sort of pidgin that defies my understanding in general.
