The president of Iran, Masud Pezeshkian, has claimed this Tuesday Iraq’s support for the “unjust” war launched by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic more than a month ago.
In this sense, it has highlighted the historical and civilizational ties between both neighboring countries. “The Muslim people of Iraq bravely supported Iran in this unjust war; this resistance is not due to geographical limitations, but to shared history, identity and religious values,” the Iranian president said in a message on social networks.
In it, he specifically vindicates “the Iraqi people, their officials and the combatants in Mesopotamia.” “I appreciate your firmness and respect for our commitment,” he indicated.
Since the start of the war, pro-Iran militias in Iraq have remained active with attacks on US-related positions in the region in retaliation for the offensive against Tehran.
