Iran-Iraq-Hosseini
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said on Sunday that the current visit to Iraq of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an indication of Iran's honesty in supporting the Iraqi government.
Talking to reporters during his weekly press briefing, he said Washington is against development of regional states. He made the remarks when asked about the US approach towards the current visit to Iraq of the Iranian president.
Comparing Ahmadinejad's visits with those of the US President George W Bush, Hosseini said Bush's visits are aimed at creating tension and interfering in domestic affairs of other countries.
However, the objective of Ahmadinejad's visit is to create convergence among regional states and to prevent interference of foreign states in domestic affairs of the regional countries, he added.
Ahmadinejad's visit to Baghdad is an indication of practical support of the Iranian government for the political trend in the neighboring Iraq, he said, adding that Tehran has repeatedly asked the regional states to support the Iraqi government.
