Bahman 22-Ahmadinejad-Iraq
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Sunday reminded that Iran had repeatedly warned that the presence of American and British forces in Iraq will not solve its problems.
His remarks were part of a speech he delivered at Azadi Square here on the occasion of the 28th anniversary of victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Today foreign forces in Iraq are instigating false conflicts between Shiites and Sunnis, arresting defenseless diplomats in Iran's consulate and boasting of victory, the president said, and called on them to end such futile measures.
Addressing these foreign troops, he said: "Given the brotherhood, common history, culture and beliefs of the Iranian and Iraqi nations, Iraq's security, stability and dignity is also Iran's.
"Insecurity in Iraq will have negative consequences on neighboring states, but the enemies are constantly accusing Iran of inciting tensions there," the president said.
