Iran raps allegations on meddling in Iraq

Iran’s Ambassador to Iraq has dismissed as false the allegations against the Islamic Republic, which claim Iran is interfering in Iraq’s internal affairs.

“These allegations against the Islamic Republic are baseless and we reject them unreservedly,” Middle East Online quoted Hassan Danaifar as saying, Mehr news agency reported on Wednesday.

Condemning the remarks of some officials who had claimed that Iran was meddling in Iraq, Danaifar said Iran will take the case to court, adding that the country has never been seeking instability and chaos in the war-torn state.

The Iranian envoy also endorsed the Islamic Republic’s support for the formation of an Iraqi government as soon as possible.

“We support the formation of an Iraqi government with the participation of all political parties in accordance with the Iraqi Constitution,” the Iranian official concluded.
