@revelette1,
There are thousands of pro Iranian militiamen and irregulars in Iraq just waiting to do their patriotic duty.
They don't need to be asked, they're after voting rights.
The majority Shia population in Bahrain, home of the 5th fleet, won't be too upset if someone strikes a blow against the hated Sunni ruling class and their western supporters.
Iran doesn't have to do a thing.
