White House spokesperson Ari Fleischer said yesterday the Bush administration has warned Iran not to interfere with the development of a government of Iraq. The administration is worried that Iran has been sending people into Iraq whose mission is to influence the majority Shiite Muslim population. A senior administration official told The New York Times, “It’s clear we are going to have to step in a little more forcefully.” Special Forces and intelligence officers are trying to identify pro-U.S. clerics in small towns and cities, encouraging them to issue religious edicts, or fatwas, in support of the U.S. occupation.
