]]> 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.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Ahmad Dastmalchian, Iran’s former ambassador to Lebanon, has said that the Syrian constitutional committee is very important, because it will replace bullets with dialogue.

In an interview with IRNA published on Saturday, he said, “Initiative of the Astana talks which was created by Iran, Russia, and Turkey to settle the Syrian crisis shows that multilateralism can be an important basis for peace, diplomacy, and dialogue.”

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced the formation of the constitutional committee on September 23.

The Syrian constitutional committee met on Wednesday for the first time under UN auspices to chart a political settlement to end the eight-and-a-half-year civil war.

The meeting in Geneva is being overseen by the UN special envoy for Syria Geir Pederson.

The first meeting the committee, composed of government and opposition members as well as civil society, is a step forward in what the United Nations says will be a long road to political rapprochement.

Mohammad Javad Zarif, Sergey Lavrov, and Mevlut Cavusoglu, respectively the foreign ministers of Iran, Russia, and Turkey issued a joint statement on Tuesday reaffirming commitment to Syria’s territorial integrity and supporting the work of the constitutional committee.

The statement was issued after a trilateral meeting with Pedersen in Geneva.

Part of the statement said Iran, Russia and Turkey “welcomed the formation the Constitutional Committee and its convening in Geneva on 30 October 2019 as a result of the decisive contribution of the Astana guarantors and the implementation of the decisions of the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi and appreciated in this regard the efforts of the UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Syria.”

The sides also “reaffirmed their determination to support the work of the Constitutional Committee through continuous interaction with the Syrian parties and the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Syria in order to ensure its sustainable and effective work.”
