Iran-Iraq-Larijani
Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani said on Wednesday that Iran had never had a plan for military movement in the region and will not have such a plan in the future either.
Responding to a question posed by Alalam reporter about US plan to set up a base on Iraq-Iran border, Larijani said that the Iranian president had said that Iraq does not need a caretaker, but, the westerners used the statement for propaganda campaign against Iran.
"What the president said is that Iraq has its own government and the Iraqi people are capable enough to determine their own fate." Larijani said that Iran had never planned for military movement in the region and the US has understood its failure in military invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, though they want to cover up their desperation.
"The fact is that the Iraqi people will never allow the US to stay in Iraq and the US approach toward Iranian borders will be detrimental to them.
"The Iraqi government has made clear that it will not allow the US to establish a base in Iraq. We see the stance of the Iraqi government in line with Iraqi national sovereignty," Larijani said.
He advised the US not to waste time in the region and not to put its forces at risk.
