"Iran supports a unified, independent and strong Iraq, as well as its support for the decision of the Iraqis to self-determination," said Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Wednesday during a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein in Baghdad.

Iran's top diplomat also stressed "the need to accelerate the file of following up the crime of assassinating the leaders of victory."

"The Iraqi constitution prohibits the use of Iraqi territory to attack neighboring countries," he stressed.

Hussein also added that the discussions addressed "Iranian dues related to the purchase of gas, especially since Iranian dues were part of the talks in Washington."

Regarding the commercial transactions and railway system between the two countries, Iraq's top diplomat said there are further steps that need to be taken, and reaching an agreement between Tehran and Washington is vital for Baghdad, in reference to American sanctions on Iran.

"There are steps in the file of railway link, and regional and international issues and the results of the visit to Washington related to the Iranian side were discussed," noting that "reaching understandings between Iran and America is important for Iraq."
