IRNA � Iran�s Ambassador to Iraq Iraj Masjedi said on Tuesday that Tehran favors best relations with Iraqi Sunnis and their representative, particularly Osama al-Nujaifi.


He made the remarks in a meeting with the Iraqi vice president Osama al-Nujaifi in Baghdad where he also recalled Iran�s willingness to participate in Iraq's reconstruction.

Masjedi also warned of threats against Iraq including one posed by terrorist group Daesh and the other by a referendum of Iraqi Kurdistan Region (KRG) .

He further noted that Iran�s assistance to Iraq was not meant for propagation.

Al-Nujaifi, for his part, said that Sunnis do not feel justice due to the decisions made earlier and this is definitely not in the interest of Iraq and the region as a whole.

He further noted that Daesh was an enemy which threatened all and Iran�s help came at a time when Iraqis were experiencing a critical situation.

During his meetings with Iraqi officials, Sunni and Shia, Masjedi has stressed that Iran�s policy is not to support a single group, individual or party; rather it throws its weight behind the upcoming elections as a major section of the country�s political agenda.

Iraqi parliamentary election is scheduled to be held in May 12, 2018.
