The Iraqi politician made the remark in an interview touching upon the efforts staged by some groups to derail the relationships between the leaders of Iran and Iraq.

“Iran is our strategic depth,” articulated the Iraqi. “We need the advice and auspices of Imam Khamenei for reconstructing Iraq.”

Al-Hakim offered gratitude to Ayatollah Khamenei’s speciall attention to Iraq and Iraqi development in the last 40 years.
