“We have already stressed Iran’s readiness to support Iraq in its confrontation against terrorists and foreigners,” he said.

Iran is after good neighborliness in the region, Velayati continued.

Mousavi, for his part, appreciated Iran for fight against terrorism as well as confronting Iraqi and regional challenges.

The two countries share many commonalities. “Daesh terrorist attacks have put Iran and Iraq in the same path, since the attacks are against humanity and not only one nation,” the Iraqi official noted.
