Iran , meanwhile, has expanded its ties to Shiite militias in the country from which it is judged that The Americans have been responsible for rocket attacks against the bases of the U.S. air attacks. The Americans see in Tehran is behind the attacks and want the Iraqi authorities to ensure the safety of U.S. plants.
