Iraq National Security Adviser Dr. Mowaffak al-Rubaie says Iran is meddling in Iraq's affairs and setting up a proxy war in his country.
But Rubaie, in Washington, D.C., this week, is warning U.S. officials about the danger of attacking Iran directly.
He says that would be a fatal mistake that would draw the whole region into instability, and he urges, instead, that the U.S. seriously engage with Iran.
Rubaie talks with Robert Siegel.
