Iran warns Turkey on Iraq

"We are obviously worried and we have told our Turkish friends not to dispatch their forces."
Both Iran and Turkey fear the US-led war will lead to Kurdish rebels winning control of Iraq’s northern oil capital of Kirkuk, making them more self-sufficient economically and a potential beacon for unrest among their own much larger Kurdish minorities.
Turkey last week gave assurances that it would abide by repeated US calls to stay out of the Iraq war, but Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made clear yesterday it was ultimately a decision for Ankara alone.
