Iranian ambassador to Iraq said Tehran not only has no concerns over the prospects of the Iraqi government increasing its relations with its neighbors, including Saudi Arabia, but also welcomes such steps. Iraj Masjedi said, “Iraq is an independent nation and is entitled to make its own policies. It is natural for Iraq to be trying to increase their neighborly relations with Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iran.” Not only do we think this is not a problem, but we also would like to see all regional countries enjoy good relations,” he was quoted as saying by Fars News Agency on Saturday. He, however, warned that Iran would confront any schemes hatched against it by Saudi Arabia.
