Iran: We Won’t Leave Iraq Alone
Local Editor
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif confirmed the country will not leave Iraq alone in the fight against terrorism.
The Iranian official made the remark in a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in Baghdad on Tuesday.
The Iraqi premier, for his part, highlighted Iran's role in the campaign against terrorism and underlined the need for cooperation among countries in the Middle East to fight the menace.
Abadi also praised Iran's assistance to his country in countering terrorism and called for promotion of ties between the two neighboring states in all areas.
The ISIL takfiri terrorists now control large parts of Iraq and Syria. They have been engaged in crimes against humanity in the areas under their control.
In a new report released on Monday, the UN documented massive human rights violations committed by ISIL militants in Iraq in 2014 saying that between September 11 and December 10, at least 165 executions were carried out by ISIL terrorists.
Iran has repeatedly stressed that it will not interfere militarily in Iraq and Syria, but that it will continue to provide support for both countries against ISIL in the form of defense consultation and humanitarian aid.
