TEHRAN, Mar. 11 (MNA) – Iran will not let US hostility with it to influence Iraq, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said.

“This is the US who has enmity with Iraq. This is the US who is pushing Iraqis to make a choice. Iran does not want them to choose. We seek good relations with them. Iraq is our neighbor. The US cannot disturb Iran-Iraq ties,” Zarif said.

“We are geographically and historically related to each other. Even the eight-year imposed war between the two countries could not separate the Iranian nation from the Iraqi nation,” he added.
