And the spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee continued: “The peoples of the region are hostile to the Zionist entity and are only satisfied with uprooting its roots. The Zionist entity must know that mutual visits with some countries do not enable it to achieve its goals.. Israel must search for the reasons for the strikes it receives.

Iran's ambassador to Baghdad: Our bombing of Erbil has nothing to do with the Iraqi sovereignty file! (Video)

2022.03.14 - 17:49

 

  

Baghdad - people  

On Monday, the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad, Iraj Masjedi, considered his country's bombing of the Iraqi city of Erbil, as a reaction to operations against us carried out by "Al-Qaeda" in Erbil, he said.  

  

 

  

Masjedi said in a speech to him, in the Karbala governorate, and "Nas" followed him (March 14, 2022), "We will not tolerate and will not abandon the security of our lands, and we have previously warned Kurdistan officials, but unfortunately they did not hear the words."  

He added, "This base, which they (Kurdistan officials) put at the disposal of the Israelis, carried out operations against us, so the Islamic Republic of Iran reacted against that base."  

He pointed out that "the goal is not Iraqi sovereignty, and it is not an insult to the Iraqi government or the Iraqi people."  

  

  

  

  

On Monday, Iran warned that it would not tolerate any "threats" emanating from Iraq, a day after the Revolutionary Guards announced that they had targeted Erbil with ballistic missiles.  

"It is unacceptable for one of our neighbors with whom we have strong relations to become a focus of threats against the Islamic Republic," said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh.  

And he warned during a press conference that "Iran will not tolerate" the presence in a neighboring country of "a center for plotting against our country and sending terrorists" across the border.  

Khatibzadeh said that Iran had previously drawn the attention of the central government in Baghdad "repeatedly lest its borders become a place of conspiracy against our country," calling on it to "prevent the use of its lands to threaten security and stability" in the Islamic Republic.

Baghdad - people  

On Monday, the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Hoshyar Zebari, demanded that the Iranian ambassador to Iraq, Iraj Masjedi, engage in a diplomatic and legal "course".  

 

 

  

Zebari said in a blog post followed by "Nass" (March 14, 2022), "His Excellency the ambassador of the Islamic Republic from Holy Karbala announces that the bombing of Erbil has nothing to do with the sovereignty of Iraq, and I think that he needs to enter into a diplomatic and legal course in international law, international relations and good relations." Neighborhood and mutual respect between countries.  

Zebari added, wondering, "Is this position the beginning of further escalation and turning Iraq into an arena for settling accounts instead of confronting Israel in Syria, Lebanon and the wounded Gaza? This logic is upside down and you cannot rationalize the absurd, His Excellency Mr. Iraj Masjedi, who is familiar and closely informed. of Iranian-Iraqi relations and the historical Kurdish-Iranian relations.
