The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran has stressed the need for effective and active cooperation with Iraq to establish stability and security in the region, noting: "Any country in the region that neglects the hegemonic goals of the United States and the Zionist regime will both make the interests of its own people trampled and is disfavored by the Muslim nations."

The senior official went on to say: "We consider the slightest insecurity in Iraq to be to the detriment of the whole region, so we welcome the realization of the interests of the Iraqi people and the establishment of a strong government in this country."
 
Emphasizing that Tehran and Baghdad are not just neighbors, but the two nations have a brotherly and kinship relationship, the President said: "Good steps have been taken to develop and deepen relations between the two countries and we are determined to promote the level of relations and cooperation between the two countries in all fields considering all capacities and development of bilateral and regional relations between Tehran and Baghdad will lead to closer relations at the international level.
 
Ayatollah Raisi emphasized the efforts to establish security and peace in the region without the interference of foreigners and said: "The passage of time has proved the legitimacy of the Supreme Leader's statement that the United States is not sympathetic to the Muslim nations in the region, especially Iraq. It is evident that foreigners are merely pursuing their own interests and domination."
