Aid in indias north of the somme state knocked out have this efforts to help slots attempts. Irans foreign minister javad zarif has been visiting the iraqi capital baghdad he held talks with the Iraqi Foreign minister and discussed relations which have been strained by foreign powers its roof says neighboring nations have to cooperate for the good of the region without interfering in the child as affairs and he denounced the killing of Iranian Revolutionary guard commander cost him so the money after visiting the site of his death. For us stable powerful iraq is in the interest of our respective countries thats why we look forward to the continued constructive by literally negotiations the stability security and peace in iraq is the stability of the entire region. For a moment well get reaction from iran hasa bega standing by for us and to iran but 1st lets get to some our whole team whos in baghdad simona just tell us why is this visit so important. Well its the 1st time irans foreign minister visits iraq after the assassination of an iranian general custom still in money on january 3rd and its also the 1st time that he visits the country after the formation of the new government led by a Prime Minister more than me who is seen as somebody who is closer to the United States compared to his predecessor. The hes somebody who has emphasized the importance of iraqi sovereignty somebody who has also vowed to restrict weapons in the hands of the state and who has recently moved against armed groups like this which are perceived as being close to iran so the last few months have been rather turbulent for iran iraq relations and this visit is certainly aimed at recalibrating relationship at making sure that irans economic political and security interests are represented and it comes just a day ahead of most a visit to saudi arabia which will then be followed by a visit to tehran so certainly one of the main agenda items will be around preparing to visit perhaps even passing some messages that iraqs Prime Minister will take with him through some sort of shuttle diplomacy on the way to saudi arabia and of course the visit is also important because it just comes just days after the United Nations issued a report looking into the assassination of some sort of money by a u. S. Drone here in baghdad and ruling that assassination as a lawful source certainly foreign minister mohammad before also be discussing that with his iraqi counterparts and perhaps even pressing the Iraqi Government to take further action in disregard against the United States think that some on 14 in baghdad lets bring in said big who is in tehran i said its just a little bit more about what stavans or even hoping to get out of this. Well theres a lot of cup cooperation between iran and iraq iran supplies iraq with oil gas and electricity in fact they have a cooperation to supply iraq with electricity up until the end of 2021 but this does see iraq as vital to this security and when developed 3 for speaking this morning he did mention the general cost of the money and also his instrument a role in defeating isis in iraq now general glosson for the money was seen as instrumental in stopping isis reaching the borders of iran solve it and he will want to discuss that but iran has made no secret of the fact that they want to end the u. S. Presence in the region and they have been accusations against groups in iraq backed by iran of targeting u. S. Assets inside iraq so thats a point of contention and tension maybe between the 2 countries but iran is also looking for moral support not the United Nations special repertoire for actual judicial killings said that the cessation of general crossing for the money was a norful iran is looking for support and even maybe looking to iraq to take more action on that issue but also we have this vote coming up the United States wants to extend the arms embargo against iran and iran is looking to iraq as an ally as a friend for moral support against the United States and it puts iraq in a very difficult position but iran again is laying the groundwork here before the pm iraqi pm comes and visits that iran where there will be discussing the Security Issues and those regional issues and of course hes going to be visiting saudi arabia and that is seen as a rival regional rival iran take that i said back there live from tehran.
