Does Anyone Care About The ongoing Sectarian Violence in Iraq?

Does the UN have any idea what is going on in Iraq every day? Or maybe, the file of Iraq has been lost in the UN's archive!
Or maybe some analysts think that with this type of violence they can put extra pressure on Iran. In this respect, I have to say that with this type of action, you cannot defeat Iran or weaken its influence in Iraq. On the contrary, this sectarian violence would facilitate better opportunities for Iran from different angles. Briefly, it would legitimize Iran's presence in Iraq in the sense that Iran claims that its Quds force defends the Shiite people in Iraq against their enemies. This sectarian violence would also help Iran to recruit and mobilize large number of Shiite followers and use this army in both Iraq and Syria. At the present, Syria is the most important Achilles' Heel of Iran. Without a free Syria, you cannot dismantle Hezbollah; you cannot bring stability in Iraq.
