RNA - "Iran is the most reliable supporter of Iraq in political and security fields," al-Hakim said.
He stated that over the past 14 years, Iran has always been the most important, the most powerful and the most serious supporter of Iraq in the political and security areas and the fight against ISIL.
Al-Hakim pointed to the relations between Iran and Iraq, and described Iran-Iraq relations as "special".
In relevant remarks in late May, Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari underlined that the Baghdad government will not pay any attention to US President Donald Trump's policies adopted against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
"Baghdad will not get involved in the anti-Tehran policies adopted by Washington," al-Jaafari told reporters.
The Iraqi foreign minister made the remarks when asked about Trump’s idea to form a new anti-Iran front and whether Iraq will ever participate in it.
Al-Jaafari reiterated that Iraq will not enter any country’s policies against another one.
The Iraqi foreign minister underlined that many commonalities, including geography, history, social affairs and common interests have linked Iraq and Iran.
