Iran presses the US

Iran presses the US to leave Iraq for many month now, this began with the US asking Iran for help in Iraq to insure the safety of the civilian population. Initially Iran declined but then stated later that they would be willing to support Iraq as an independent nation without or with only a reduced number of US soldiers. Which as the Iranian leadership termed it were intruders which would, because they were intruders never be able to insure peace in Iraq. But rather create more problems. The US leadership responded by insuring that the US support for Iraq had not changed and the US president stated that US troops would remain in Iraq until 'the Job is done'. Which if the Iranian prediction is true will never occur. Iran now offered to help the US withdrawing by supplementing the reduced US troops with Iranian troops. Iran states that since their men are more closely involved due to the proximity of their homes to the problem zone and due to greater social, ethnic and religious similarities Iranian troops would have a greater chance of not being seen as an occupational force. As which the US troops are often seen internationally at this point. The Iranian leadership attempted to communicate directly to the US population and the US government was repeatedly attacked for its policies further the letter stated repeatedly that the 'noble' people of the US were not responsible for those problems at this point because their leaders had made the mistakes leading here.
How the US will react to the increasing pressure is to be seen.
