FM: Iran's New Approach Useful for Resolving Regional Problems....TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a meeting with Iraqi President Fouad Massoum said that Tehran's new approach which resulted in striking a final nuclear agreement with the six world powers (the US, Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany) can be applied to resolving the regional problems. "The nuclear agreement was the outcome of Iran's new outlook which can be used for settling the regional problems; for the same reason I embarked on a regional tour after the nuclear agreement," Zarif said. The Iranian foreign minister said that his message to the regional countries is that Iran and the countries of the region can remove misunderstandings through dialogue and cooperation. The Iraqi president, for his part, felicitated the Iranian nation and government on the occasion of the nuclear agreement with the world powers, and said, "The deal will bring about stability and tranquility in the region and it will be beneficial not just to Iran, but all the regional states."
President Massoum, meantime, called for cooperation among Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf states, specially Saudi Arabia, and said, "It will be very important to establish peace and stability in the region."
"In the wake of the nuclear agreement (between Iran and the world powers), conditions of the region have changed, and there is no longer a fabricated fear or threat from the atomic bomb; hence, the regional countries can resume cooperation on uprooting the terrorist groups, specially the ISIL," he added.
Iran and Iraq have enjoyed growing ties ever since the overthrow of the former Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, during the 2003 US invasion of the Muslim country. Tehran has taken huge steps in assisting Baghdad's campaign against the terrorists.
In December, President Massoum thanked Tehran for its continued support for Baghdad in the ongoing war on the Takfiri terrorists, saying that Iran was the first country to rush to Baghdad's aid when ISIL attacked the Muslim nation.
"Iran was the first country that backed up Iraq against the terrorists' invasion at a time when we needed possibilities to fight the terrorists," President Massoum said in a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in Baghdad on Wednesday.
During the meeting in Baghdad, Massoum stressed the necessity for the expansion and strengthening of the relations between Iran and Iraq in all fields, and called for continued meetings between the two countries' high-ranking officials to confer on ways to settle the regional problems.
Speaking in an interview with the American CNN television in September, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that Iran will resort to any possible means to protect the holy sites in Iraq, including those in Karbala and Najaf, and the country's capital city of Baghdad from the terrorist attacks
