Tehran (ISNA) - Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the UN, Majid Takht Ravanchi said that US bogus accusations against Iran are aimed at distracting public opinion from their 17 years of military occupation in Iraq and killing over 300,000 innocent civilians.
"The US accusations against Iran are aimed at distracting attentions from Iraqis' anger against recent brutal massacre of Iraqi people by Washington air raids," Takht Ravanchi stated.
"Hashd al-Shaabi, Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces and its branches are merely Iraqi volunteers working under the inspection of legitimate and democratic government of Iraq. The group has played major role in fighting ISIS terrorists and their defeat in Iraq," he added.
