The United States is accusing Iran and Syria of trying to destabilize Iraq.
U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad told the U.N. Security Council on Monday that Iranian-backed groups have launched numerous attacks on Iraqi civilians and multinational forces this year.
He cites estimates suggesting that 90 percent of foreign terrorists enter Iraq through Syria.
In a report to the council on behalf of the multinational forces, Khalilzad says Iran and Syria must stop sending weapons and foreign fighters into Iraq.
Iran and Syria have repeatedly denied trying to destabilize Iraq.

there were enough sanctions already, like 13 or something....they did not work...
Well said, thank you.
Saddam Hussein was hated even by his neighbors. He was a US CIA guy gone bad. Sound familiar? We should have forced him out with sanctions and made him turn over power a new leader.
