Ankara / Baghdad - Iranians senior officials said on Tuesday that Iran believes that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is no longer able to maintain the unity of the country and were looking for an alternative leader to fight Sunni militants.
And hit a political impasse since the inconclusive general elections held in April / April paralyzed efforts to fight the guerrillas of the Islamic State, who took control over large areas in northern and western Iraq and in Syria and threatened to crawl on Baghdad.
The Iranian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity that Tehran is cooperating with the Iraqi factions to find a replacement for the owners but there is a lack of suitable candidates.
The Iranian official said "we came to the conclusion that al-Maliki is no longer able to maintain the unity of Iraq, but the Ayatollah (Ali) Sistani still has hope" in reference to the most revered Shi'ite cleric in Iraq.
He added, "Ayatollah Sistani supports our vision now on al-Maliki."
He continued, saying, "There is not many candidates can be to have the ability to preserve the unity of Iraq. Ambassador in Iraq held a number of meetings in the past few days with the relevant groups and some potential candidates."
The political allies have said that al-Maliki, who is seen as an authoritarian figure led his program to undermine the stability of sectarian Iraq does not intend to step down despite mounting pressure from Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites some of the children of his community and now Iran.
Remained al-Maliki, who was not known to what extent when he took office in 2006 exercised the functions of his office with limited powers since elections in April / April and said he would seek to win a third term, despite widespread opposition.
The Iraqi minister, speaking on condition of anonymity because of sectarian tensions within the interim government that there is a noticeable change in the attitude of Tehran's biggest foreign influence in Iraq.
The United States urged Iraqi politicians to form a government with the largest number of spectra able to unite Iraqis and to address the group, the Islamic State, which split on al-Qaeda and swept through northern Iraq in June without reluctance from the Army almost Maliki, who is trained by the United States.
And met with this task more urgent at the weekend after the group seized control of three other towns in northern Iraq on oil field and the fifth and went to a major dam that expelled after Kurdish fighters who were preparing one of the few forces capable of tackling militants.
The group, the Islamic State, which announced the succession in the areas controlled by Syria and Iraq in the biggest security threat to Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein in the US-led invasion the United States in 2003.
A security official said a senior Iranian Tehran's interest in stability in Iraq greater than the interest in supporting Maliki, who was endorsed for a long time.
The official said the second "Iraq will be divided if al-Maliki remains in power. Iraq needs a strong government in order to address the group, the Islamic State and we support this idea. Divide Iraq a threat to Iranian national security."
And the disruption of political wrangling and complex procedures efforts to form a power-sharing government while strengthening the group Islamic State hardline Sunni gains and ignite sectarian tensions that brought violence to the levels that existed in the years 2006-2007.
According to the Iraqi constitution, it is in front of the president until Friday to ask the candidate of the largest bloc in parliament to form a government within 30 days.
But a row erupted within the dominant Shi'ite Alliance. Maliki insists that a coalition of state law, led and which won 94 seats in the elections held in April / April is the largest bloc, but others say the coalition must be part of the alliance and thus not entitled to single-handedly to nominate a candidate for prime minister.
Maliki did not show any sign of readiness to relinquish power.Enthusiasts and his supporters refused to talk about any alternatives.
A member of parliament from the coalition of state law Mohammed Chihod that all the talk about an alternative candidate for prime minister without basis.
He added that a coalition of state law, is the largest bloc in parliament, and Nuri al-Maliki is a candidate in accordance with the constitutional powers of the coalition, although sticking to this right.
Speculation is growing that the National Coalition -alaútlav Shiite Alhakm- would support the nomination of a new prime minister to end the political crisis.
The Iraqi minister said that several names had been raised.
Seen to Ibrahim al-Jaafari, who was prime minister before Maliki, as a more moderate figure. But Jaafari, who studied medicine was not able to cope with the sectarian violence that was growing in his reign. Jaafari and spent ten years in Iran since 1980 to escape Saddam Hussein's repression of the Shiite Islamic movement confidential.
Political sources say that Ahmad Chalabi, a secular Iraqi politician encouraged false claims about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction the administration of President George W. Bush to invade Iraq in 2003, another candidate.
Iraqi officials say that the attempts being made behind the scenes to give al-Maliki, a departure save face. Under one of the proposals will become Vice President Khodair al prime minister, while al-Maliki holds the position of vice president, a mainly ceremonial post.
Many things will depend on whether Maliki's allies in the powerful coalition of state law, such as Transport Minister Hadi al-Amiri will continue to support in the face of mounting pressure.
The future will depend al-Maliki as well as on whether the Deputy Prime Minister Hussain al-Shahristani, who leads the group of independents within the State of Law coalition is prepared to stick with it.
Shahristani has been waiting for the signal from the others and Sistani, who said that the time has come for the departure of al-Maliki.
