Iran and Iraq will resist foreign interference, Ghalibaf says

Iran and Iraq will resist foreign interference, Ghalibaf says Iran’s parliament speaker says efforts by “enemies” to drive Iran and Iraq apart will instead deepen their relationship. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told an Arbaeen ceremony in the city of Karbala that history, geography and shared religious beliefs bound the countries together. “We were two nations that refused to become a footnote in others’ narratives and did not allow our destiny to be written in western capitals,” he said.
