The major players in the Iraq and Syria crisis are often both allies and
antagonists, working together on one front on one day and at cross-purposes
the next. Here are brief sketches of some of the confluences and conflicts
in the deepening crisis. JUNE 13, 2014
Iran and the United States
Have been enemies since 1979 and remain highly antagonistic on most
issues
Back opposite sides in the Syrian conflict
... but ...
Have a major common interest in the survival of the Maliki government in
Iraq and the defeat of the Sunni extremist militias
United States and the Gulf Monarchies, including Saudi Arabia
Are longstanding allies, sharing an interest in containing Iran
Back the opposition to the Assad government in Syria
... but ...
The monarchies are hostile to the American-backed, Shiite-dominated
Maliki government in Iraq
Gulf money has financed jihadist fighters in Syria and Iraq that the
United States wants no part of
Turkey and the Iraqi Kurds
Have developed extensive commercial relations
Have agreed to cooperate in Syria
... but ...
The Turks are wary of Kurdish gains in Iraq, for fear that it will
prompt a flare-up of Kurdish separatism in Turkey
The Kurds are deeply suspicious of Turkish intervention in Iraq
The Kurds and the Maliki Government
Are at odds over boundaries, oil revenue and the Kurds’ goal of
independence
Have sectarian differences (most Kurds are Sunnis)
… but …
Share an interest in preventing a Sunni militant takeover of either Iraq
or Syria
Have cooperated tactically against Sunni militant fighters
The Gulf Monarchies and the Sunni Insurgents
Have a common enemy in the Assad government in Syria
Share antipathy for Shiite rule and Iranian influence in Iraq and the
region
... but ...
The monarchies consider ISIS and its goal of a hard-line caliphate too
extreme and a threat
The insurgents consider the monarchies corrupt and irreligious | d*********t

负责。我估计美国要准备接受伊拉克被分为三块的结果了，剩下的就是看着中东的那些
人互相斗。 | d****o
