Iran is ready to take action to eliminate the threat posed by anti-Iran terrorist groups based in Iraq’s Kurdistan region should they refuse to disarm and relocate, says a senior Iranian lawmaker.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein says his country is committed to a security pact with Iran to disarm anti-Iran terrorist groups based in the Kurdistan regime.

Only a week is left until September 19 when Iraq has pledged to disarm and relocate anti-Iran terrorist groups in the Kurdistan Region in line with a security agreement.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has welcomed Iraq’s return to its regional role.

Four Iraqi army soldiers have been killed in a counter-terrorism operation north of the capital Baghdad.

The Russian foreign minister says the US is playing with fire in the Kurdish-populated regions between Iraq and Syria as it promotes separatism there.

Iran says it would most likely launch a new round of rapprochement talks with Saudi Arabia in the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad.
