Iran's foreign ministry said Iran's foreign minister met Iraq's prime minister
in Iraq on Sunday at midday. Tehran said the minister stressed Iran's
determination to deepen political, economic, security, commercial, cultural and
people-to-people ties with Iraq, saying closer bilateral cooperation supports
regional stability. He outlined recent diplomatic steps aimed at ending what
Iran describes as US–Israeli hostilities against Iran, and urged regional states
to help maintain security and prevent third parties from using their territory
or facilities to carry out illegal attacks on Iran.
