Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a meeting with his Iraqi counterpart Fuad Hussein in Tehran on Saturday said that some recent attacks and developments in Iraq are suspicious and could be carried out to disrupt Tehran-Baghdad relations and Iraq's security and stability.

Zarif and Fuad Hussein discussed political, economic, and border trade cooperation, according to the public relations office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Condemning the US dangerous attack on Iraqi forces along the borders with Syria, Zarif said that the attacks were illegal and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty.

Regarding the issue of Iranian fuel tankers in Tamarchin, northwestern Iran, Zarif hoped that the problem will be solved with cooperation between the two neighboring countries.
