RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad Khatami, a ‎member of the member of the board of directors of the Assembly of Experts of the ‎Leadership, referred to the damage of the United States’ military-political presence in West ‎Asia, said, “The diplomatic relationship between Iran and Iraq as two neighbouring countries ‎which enjoy many commonalities – in the domestic arena, in the foreign arena, in the ‎economic arena, security and other areas – is in the interest of both countries.”‎

The representative of the people of Kerman in the Assembly of Experts of the Leadership ‎referred to the strategic warning by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah ‎Khamenei] that the United States should withdraw from the region and stated, “The Supreme ‎Leader relied on the key point in the foreign arena that the United States is the common ‎enemy of the Islamic world, the enemy of independent Iraq and the enemy of Islamic Iran ‎and its enmity with the Islamic world is because Islam.”‎

Ayatollah Khatami called the presence of Americans the cause of insecurity and various ‎crimes in Islamic countries and said, “The entry of Americans into every region has caused ‎insecurity and evil. Evil seems to lie in the genes of American statesmen. Therefore, the ‎expectation from the Iraqi government is to fulfill the will of the Iraqi people and parliament ‎for the Americans to leave Iraq.”‎

The temporary Friday prayer leader of Tehran pointed to the historical enmity of the ‎Americans toward the Iranian nation and added, “The enmity of the Americans with the ‎people of Iran has been evident since before the Islamic Revolution and their latest crime is ‎the martyrdom of Generals Haj Qasem Soleymani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and other ‎martyrs, which is a sign of American crime and an insult to the Iraqi government and ‎people.”‎

He called the cowardly martyrdom of General Qasem Soleymani an insult to the Iraqi people ‎and emphasized, “General Haj Qasem Soleymani was a guest of the Iraqi government and ‎people and the Americans brazenly martyred the guest of a government. It’s a clear insult to ‎that government.”‎

Ayatollah Khatami called Islamic Iran the benevolent brother of the Iraqi people and the ‎expulsion of the United States from the region as the common goal of the Iranian and Iraqi ‎people, “The Iraqi government is expected to know that their benevolent brother is Islamic ‎Iran. Therefore, trust this brother and move towards common goals by trusting this ‎compassionate brother, which is one of the common goals of expelling the Americans from ‎the region.”‎
