FM: Baghdad Not to Allow Threats Pose to Iran from Iraq

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on Thursday that his country is committed to prevent threats from its territories to the neighboring and friendly state of Iran.

Iraq will not allow its soil be a source of threat against neighboring countries, as the security of Iran and Iraq are interdependent, Hussein said in a meeting with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir Abdollahian in Tehran.

He also said that Baghdad would continue its constructive role in establishing peace and strengthening dialogue in the region.

During the meeting, the two foreign ministers discussed bilateral ties, regional developments, and other issues, including the situation in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and Ukraine.

Amir Abdollahian, for his part, underscored facilitating business exchange in border crosses, seamless transit between Iran and Iraq, and the finalization of Basrah-Shalamcheh railway that connects the two countries.

He urged facilitating Iranian passengers’ travel to Iraqi holy cities through ground routes.

Amir Abdollahian also stated that Iran cannot accept being threatened by the US, the Israeli regime, and terrorist and separatist elements via its own borders.

The comments came weeks after scores of ballistic missiles hit secret Mossad bases in Erbil in March, reportedly leaving several Israeli operatives dead.

Citing security sources, Iraq’s Sabereen News reported that two Mossad training centers were targeted by ballistic missiles.

Al-Mayadeen said a Mossad base on the Masif-Saladin street in Erbil was “fully razed to the ground and a number of Israeli mercenaries were killed or injured”.

In a relevant development last week, Iranian lawmakers in a statement voiced support for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ strong and eye-catching attack on the Zionist regime of Israel.

“The Iranian parliament supports the strong action taken to target the Zionist regime’s center of plot and evil through the IRGC precision missiles with pinpoint accuracy,” the parliamentarians said via the statement at the end of their open session.

According to the Iranian parliament’s statement, the IRGC has a good record in the fight against terrorism and the advisory presence in regional countries.

Further, parliamentarians reiterated that “global peace and security should be preserved and the illegitimate regime’s evil and brutal acts should be condemned”
