Leader Khamenei: Iran Opposes Any US Intervention in Iraq

Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said that Iran strongly opposes any kind of US intervention in Iraq, according to IRNA.

ˈIran believes that people and government as well as religious leaders of Iraq can end the adventurism,ˈ Supreme Leader said in a meeting with Judiciary Chief Ayatollah SadeqAmoliLarijani and the Judiciary officials.

On the humanitarian crisis in Iraq in the aftermath of invasion of Daesh terror group on Iraqi rural areas and cold blood crimes against humanity and summary executions and arbitrary killings of the youth, the Supreme Leader said that the western hegemonic powers are responsible for the bloodshed, especially the US, try to abuse ignorance and prejudice of a group of willful elements.

Ayatollah Khamenei said main goal behind the terror attacks on Iraq is depriving Iraqis of achievements they have gained despite the US presence and intervention, the most important of which is the national sovereignty of the democratic system.

ˈThe US is not pleased with the current situation in Iraq, let’s say holding elections with good participation of the public and deciding the public choices because the US wants to dominate Iraq and have its agents rule over the country.ˈ

The main battle in Iraq is between those who wish to join the US camp and those favoring the Iraq independence, the Supreme Leader said.

The Leader made clear that Iraqis themselves can confront the war-mongers and thwart their menace.
