SUDANESE TO IRANIAN OFFICIAL: WE DO NOT TOLERATE AT THE EXPENSE OF IRAQ’S SOVEREIGNTY

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Monday that there is no courtesy with any party at the expense of Iraq’s sovereignty, reiterating his rejection of any unilateral actions by any country, while stressing the Iraqi government’s keenness to establish relations on the principle of good neighborliness.

The media office of the Sudanese said in a statement received by the Shafaq News Agency that “the latter received today, the Secretary-General of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Akbar Ahmadian,” and stressed during the meeting “Iraq’s rejection of any unilateral actions carried out by any country, contrary to international principles based on mutual respect for sovereignty.”

“Iraq has made, and continues to make, great efforts to maintain stability and achieve calm, in the common interest of the various peoples of the region,” al-Sudani said.

For his part, the Secretary-General of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stressed “his country’s commitment to Iraq’s security and stability, and its keenness to continue working in accordance with the joint security agreement between Iraq and Iran in a way that preserves the security of the two neighboring countries.”

Last month, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a violent missile attack targeting civilian areas in Erbil, killing and wounding 10 civilians.

Federal Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani ordered at the time the formation of an investigative committee consisting of five figures, headed by National Security Adviser Qassim al-Araji, to investigate the incident.

Al-Sudani also described the bombing as a “clear act of aggression” and stressed his government’s determination to take “legal and diplomatic measures”.

The Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the strikes on Erbil, saying in a statement that they were “in response to the crimes of the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic”.
