Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, stated at an Arbaeen ceremony in Karbala that Iran and Iraq will resist foreign interference. He asserted that any attempts by "enemies" to drive the two nations apart would instead strengthen their relationship. Ghalibaf highlighted the historical, geographical, and religious bonds that unite Iran and Iraq, emphasizing that they have refused to become mere footnotes in others' narratives and have not allowed their destinies to be written in western capitals.
He emphasized that Tehran and Baghdad would not allow foreign governments to determine their futures, advocating for the two countries to build on their security cooperation and unite to achieve economic prosperity and development. Ghalibaf called for joint projects to improve living standards, enhance economic independence, and curb outside influence across the region, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency.
