Iran's top general urges full implementation of security deal with Iraq

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi has stressed the importance of fully implementing the security agreement between Iran and Iraq, calling for increased cooperation between the two countries to maintain regional security.

General Mousavi made the remarks in a meeting with a high-ranking Iraqi delegation led by Iraqi National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji in the capital Tehran on Wednesday.

Mousavi also hailed the strong bond and brotherhood between Iran and Iraq, much to the dismay of the United States and the two countries' adversaries.

He also pointed out that the recent attacks by the US and the Israeli regime on Iran exposed Washington's plans to wrest control over Iraq.

According to Iran's General Staff of the Armed Forces, Israeli fighter jets used US-controlled airspace over Iraq to launch missiles at Iranian military sites during the regime's June act of aggression against Iran.

"If the recent acts of aggression by the Zionist regime and the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran had not occurred, Washington's true intentions in seeking control over Iraq's affairs might not have been fully revealed," he said, referring to the presence of US-led military coalition in the Arab country.

Araji, for his part, highlighted the deep and special ties between the two nations and reaffirmed Iraq's commitment to fulfill the terms of the security agreement with Iran.

Referring to the June 12-day war against Iran, he noted that despite losses, the Iranian people stood united in support of their armed forces and government and manifested their resilience.

Araji further emphasized the necessity of enhancing military, political, and economic cooperation to contribute to regional stability, reiterating the commitment of both the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to uphold Iran's security and prevent the use of Iraqi territory against neighboring states, particularly Iran.

Back in August, Iran and Iraq signed a memorandum of understanding in Baghdad to boost security along the border.

During his state visit to Iran, the Iraqi official also called on President Masoud Pezeshkian, security chief Ali Larijani, parliament speaker Baqer Qalibaf and other senior officials.
