Iraq’s National Security Advisor is in Tehran to meet with Iranian officials about the recent security agreement between the two countries regarding the disarmament of anti-Iran terror groups.

The spokesman for Iraq’s Joint Operations Command says government forces have begun to gain full control over all border points with Iran.

Iran asserts that it cannot tolerate the presence of terrorist groups on its common border with Iraq.

The Iraqi foreign minister says Baghdad will stand committed to its security deal with Tehran regarding the expulsion of anti-Iran terrorist groups from the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

The Iraqi political faction affirmed that the presence of US forces in Syria is aimed at supporting terrorist groups there.

Dozens of militants have been killed and wounded after Syrian and Russian military aircraft conducted a series of joint airstrikes against terror bases in Syria’s Idlib.

A top Iranian diplomat says the anti-Iran terrorist groups based in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region will be disarmed within the next few weeks under an agreement with the Iraqi government.

Syria denounced recent ‘false accusations’ by France and the United States over a chemical attack on the outskirts of the capital Damascus in August 2013.

The Syrian foreign minister says sanctions imposed by Western countries and their support for Takfiri terrorist groups are to be blamed for the humanitarian crisis in the war-ravaged country.

Iran's top general has warned that the country will ramp up its retaliatory attacks against terrorist groups in northern Iraq if Baghdad fails to abide by its obligations.
