Iran-Iraq Ties Improving Regardless of Impediments

Relations between Iran and neighboring Iraq are in the best state at present in spite of opposition and hostility by third parties such as the United States and Saudi Arabia, a former diplomat said. 
“In Iraq, there are people in power with a positive view toward Iran at present who pursue the expansion of ties regardless of foreign pressure and seem to have the required will as well,” Sadeq Kharrazi also wrote in a recent article published by the Iranian Diplomacy news website. 
According to the expert, Tehran and Baghdad are going through the most critical period in their history of relations.
