The prime minister also reiterated Iraq’s firm rejection of Israel’s "aggression" against Iran and condemned any actions that escalate regional and global tensions. Additionally, he expressed support for dialogue between the United States and Iran.
Larijani, for his part, emphasized Iran’s commitment to deepening ties with Iraq, particularly through infrastructure projects like railway connections that integrate with regional development corridors.
This visit represents Larijani’s first foreign trip since his recent appointment as head of Iran’s top security council. He is expected to proceed to Lebanon next.
