The collective interests of the countries, the mutual interests and the interests of the countries of the region will overcome any pressure and threats from outside the region.
Ismail Bakai, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a press conference with the media:
Traveling between Iran and neighboring countries is normal.
At different levels, economic, commercial and political delegations travel between countries.
In the current situation, due to the fact that air flights have been disrupted to some extent due to American pressure, these trips are being monitored more closely.
No matter how heavy the pressures on Iraq, they cannot and should not distort the long-standing ties between the Iranians and Iraqis.
Iran and Iraq were two neighbors, they are and will be forever. The people of Iraq and Iran know very well that others come and go, but we, as neighbors, are supposed to live together forever.
Iraqis certainly did not forget that when America attacked Iraq at the head of a very destructive coalition, all roads were closed to the people of this country and Iraq was under heavy sanctions by the UN and regional countries. Iran, as a friend and companion of the Iraqi people, looking to the future, has not given in to the sanctions and pressures that have been exerted against the residents of this country.
The collective interests of the countries, the mutual interests and the interests of the countries of the region will overcome any pressure and threats from outside the region.
