TEHRAN (Iran News)- Iranian Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Abbas Salehi underlined that enemies are attempting to create differences between the two neighbors and disturb Iran-Iraq relations but to no avail.
Salehi said on Thursday that both sides enjoy longstanding Iran-Iraq relations and the enemies are unable to break the strong bonds.
He added that over three million Iranian pilgrims took part in Arbaeen rally in Iraq this year, noting that the ceremony was indicative of the strong religious affinities between the two nations.
The enemies are seeking to divide the Muslim countries while friendship among them is deep-rooted and unbreakable, Salehi underscored.
In relevant remarks last month, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei reassured that the bonds between Iran and Iraq were so strong and deep-rooted that the conspiracies of enemies would be unable to undermine these ties.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Iranian and Iraqi nations are connected through faith and that an enemy plot seeking to sow discord between the two will fail.
“Iran and Iraq are two nations whose hearts and souls are tied together through faith in God, love for Imam Hussein and the progeny of the Prophet (PBUH). This bond will grow stronger day by day,” the Supreme Leader’s official Twitter account cited Ayatollah Khamenei as saying.
“Enemies seek to sow discord but they’ve failed and their conspiracy won’t be effective,” the tweet added.
