i agree, after reading the size of their army.

Generally a battalion in most armies, including the US and UK, is about 1,000 men strong.

Maybe Iran is just taking precautions of in case something brakes up in Iraq after the power is change, no refugees will go over the border of Iraq and Iran.

I would agree with this theory, we've seen other countries do it to prevent refugees entering.

Yes is late in the war but US is going to have a change on power to the Interim government in Iraq and this government pretty much can tell US to go back home, and the people in Iraq will back their government just to get rid of US invasion and is always they radical and cleric groups waiting to strike for power.
