US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker praised Iran on Sunday for helping to curb Shi'ite militia violence in Iraq, using some of the warmest language Washington has employed toward its arch foe over Iraq.
Ambassador Ryan Crocker said Washington believed Iran may be behind a ceasefire announced by Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. Crocker also indicated that the US still see Iran's role as unpredictable and its motives opaque. (Reuters)
