President Raeisi hails pro-Palestine stance of Iran, Iraq against Israel
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has hailed the shared stance adopted by Iran and Iraq against the occupying Israeli regime in support of Palestinians, calling it a manifestation of solidarity between the two neighboring countries.
Raeisi made the remarks in a phone conversation with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani on Wednesday, emphasizing the need for all Islamic countries to adopt the same stance.
He further noted that Iran attaches special importance to bilateral and regional relations and cooperation with Iraq, expressing hope that with the resolve and determination of the high-ranking officials of the two neighboring countries, relations between Tehran and Baghdad will be strengthened and developed more than before.
The Iranian president further vowed that the Israeli regime will pay a “heavy price” for its criminal act of attacking the Iranian consulate in the Syrian capital.
He also thanked the Iraqi government for its sympathy with the Iranian government and nation over the terrorist attack.
On Monday, Israeli warplanes bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, located next to the embassy building.
The attack killed two senior Iranian military personnel who were on an advisory mission to Syria as well as five of their accompanying officers.
Sudani, for his part, denounced the Israeli aggression as a criminal act, saying it is the result of the constant failures of the occupying regime in the battle against resistance in the region.
"We are confident that with the ... guidelines of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Islamic resistance will gain a decisive final victory," he added, according to a statement by the Iranian presidential office.
Sudani further expressed gratitude for the unwavering and continued support of Iran for efforts to establish lasting peace and stability in Iraq, emphasizing his country's interest in strengthening Tehran-Baghdad strategic relations and cooperation.
