Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad Iraj Masjedi said that the recent visit by Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Major General Esmayeel Qa’ani to Baghdad was in line with strengthening bilateral ties and was not related to the strategic talks between Iraq and the US.

“The negotiations between Iraq and the US is an internal issue and the decision depends on Iraq, itself. Rest assured that Iran will support any agreement that the Iraqi government inks and the parliament approves,” Masjedi said in an interview with the Arabic-language al-Iraqiyah news channel on Monday.
“The recent visit by Mr. Qa’ani is not related to these talks and he had earlier traveled to Iraq too,” he added. Esmayeel
“Mr. Qa’ani has always visited Iraq upon an official invitation and with coordination with the Iraqi officials and any meeting he makes is in line with strengthening relations between the two countries,” Masjedi said, adding that the Iraqi officials welcome and pay the same level of respect to General Qa’ani that they did to martyred Quds Force Commander General Soleimani.
