Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein who has traveled to Tehran for an official visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran met and conferred with his Iranian counterpart

Iraqi Foreign Minister, Fuad Hussein, who has traveled to Tehran for an official visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran, met and conferred with his Iranian counterpart, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, on Sunday afternoon.
During the meeting, both sides reviewed the progress of the very good relations between Iran and Iraq in various economic, commercial, transportation, energy, tourism, and cultural fields, emphasizing the joint determination of the leaders of the two nations to consolidate and expand bilateral ties and connections in all areas of mutual interest.
The Foreign Minister of Iran touched on the violent and terrorist incidents that occurred from January 8th to 10th, which led to the deviation of peaceful gatherings of the unions and people and caused significant human and material damage and losses. He deemed foreign intervention and instigation in the events to be completely evident and pointed out the direct responsibility of the US and the Zionist regime in the committed crimes.
Araghchi considered the US threat to attack Iran, concurrent with the crimes committed by terrorist elements against the Iranian people, as a clear sign of the complicity and collusion of the security and intelligence agencies of that country and the Zionist regime with the ringleaders of the rioters and terrorists to destabilize Iran and the entire region. He emphasized the necessity for all countries in the region to be vigilant for a responsible confrontation with the risks stemming from malevolent interventions in the internal affairs of countries.
The Iraqi foreign minister described the Iraq-Iran relations as distinguished and serving the interests of the two neighboring and Muslim nations. He pointed out the heartfelt belief of the Iraqi government in the interconnectedness of security and tranquility between Iran, Iraq, and other regional countries, and emphasized that Iraq will spare no effort to help safeguard the security and peace of the region.
He also rejected any foreign intervention in the affairs of countries under the pretext of internal developments and stressed the necessity for all countries to adhere to the principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law.
During the meeting, discussions and consultations were held on the cooperation between the two countries in combating terrorism and securing common borders, the situation in the region, particularly the continuation of warmongering and the crimes of the Zionist regime in occupied Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, as well as some destabilizing trends against Islamic countries, including Somalia and Yemen.
