In a recent statement, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf affirmed that Iran and Iraq will play a decisive role in an emerging region. His remarks come as the two neighboring countries deepen cooperation across various sectors.
Ghalibaf underscored the importance of close coordination between Tehran and Baghdad to address shared challenges and seize new opportunities. According to him, unity between the two Islamic nations will contribute to regional stability and promote the common interests of their peoples.
The Iranian parliament speaker's statement was made amid notable progress in bilateral ties, particularly in economic, energy, and security fields. Analysts suggest Ghalibaf's call reflects Iran's long-term strategy to consolidate its position in the volatile Middle East.
Earlier, leaders of both nations repeatedly emphasized their commitment to enhanced cooperation as a foundation for peace and sustainable development in the region. Ghalibaf's latest remarks are seen as a positive signal for advancing the strategic partnership between Iran and Iraq.
