Larijani: US proposed security pact will violate Iraq's security

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Oct 20, IRNA

Iran-Iraq-Larijani

Visiting former Iraqi prime minister who is currently a Member of Parliament, Ibrahim Jaafari here on Monday conferred with Iran's Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani on expansion of mutual relations as well as regional developments.

According to the Information and Media Department of Majlis, at the meeting, Jaafari described Larijani as a brilliant politician with invaluable experiences.

Highlighting deeply-rooted and friendly ties between the two nations, Larijani said the Iranian Majlis spares no efforts to render any type of assistance in order to uphold level of brotherly ties between the two countries.

Iran's principled policy is based on consolidation of ties with Iraq in order to help restore peace and stability to the war-stricken country, he said.

The US is exerting pressure on the Baghdad government to sign Iraq-US security agreement which is in violation of the country's security and interests, he said.

The agreement will prevent Iraq from playing its active role at international and regional levels, Larijani said.

The current circumstance is very vital in Iraq's history and Iraqi officials are taking a great test, he said, adding that the next Iraqi generations will never forgive those who signed this security agreement with the United States of America.

Iraq-US security agreement is full of weak points, he underlined.

The Iraqi official, for his part, highlighted significant role of parliaments in broadening ties among nations and called for promotion of parliamentary cooperation and benefiting from Iran's experiences to this effect.

The US-Iraq security agreement is regarded as a stain in the forehead of Iraq and its people will never accept it, he said.

The countries who have inked such treaties with the US could not get rid of their humiliating impacts, he said.

Following failure of US policies in the region along with the country's financial crisis, the country will not be able to impose its policies on the Iraqi nation, Jaafari said.
