That's been the accepted case since you were a cadet, probably, by everybody sans the shia-dominated al-Maliki gov't. It's assiduous allegiance to it's JAM coalition compelled another, public face to the issue for too long.

Basra seems to have forced al-Maliki, et al. to confront themselves. Of course, they've only partially done so, avoiding this time the Badr brigade and SCIRI (again, or whatever the hell they're now called). Still, if Gov't of Iraq will finally and publically acknowledge the Iranian link, the Badr brigade can wait.
