At a joint press conference held in Tehran on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian touched upon a number of topics with his Iraqi counterpart, Fuad Hussein, with whom he discussed the implementation of the security agreement between Tehran and Baghdad.

As per the agreement, Kurdish separatists in Iraq are to be disarmed and relocated by September 19.

Indicating that he had engaged in significant discussions with FM Hussein regarding the security agreement earlier that Wednesday, the senior Iranian diplomat emphasized Iran's unwavering commitment to safeguarding its national security.

Expressing contentment with the Iraqi side's efforts in disarming terrorist groups, he remarked that the Iraqi foreign minister had shared positive developments in this regard. He added that the subsequent actions in accordance with the security agreement would be implemented in the upcoming days.

"Giving even one hour to the terrorists is detrimental to the security of Iraq, Iran, and the Iraqi Kurdistan region," the top Iranian diplomat said.
