This move denies Sadr the opportunity to come off as a saviour or to regain face for allowing Iran to get the control it did. Considering the sentiments between Iraqis and Iranians, this is an important factor. - Divide and conquer. The Mahdi Army is already divided so it's important to take advantage of that. Destroying the Iranian faction destroys the link back to Tehran and with it the access to the advanced Iranian weaponry. The MA will also be weakened when commanders who have gone rogue get killed by US forces. - With the Iranian MA proxies destroyed Iran will have to send further troops, more than likely Quds troops, if they're going to continue meddling in Iraq. Personally, I feel the world gets a little safer every time someone from the Quds force dies. - Further cross-border engagements from Iran will serve as more evidence to support the case for a strike against Iran. Not that we need any more, there's more than enough proof as is, but if it got prominent media attention :roll: it'd bolster public support for engagement with Iran. So, while it may be helping Sadr clean house, it's in the best interests of the US. Besides, someone has to teach ol' Mookie Black Teeth how to clean. He clearly doesn't know how to do it himself. Doing his dirty work perhaps, but it’s to the overall benefit and safety of American forces.
