The Iran Project - Iran and Iraq have reached an agreement to disarm terrorist groups based in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region within the next few weeks, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman announced.

Under the agreement, the Iraqi government will take on the responsibility of disarming these groups, vacating military barracks in the region, and transferring them to camps established by the Iraqi government, Naser Kanani said at a presser on Monday.

The terms of the memorandum of understanding have been communicated to the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Iran has emphasized that the September 19 deadline will not be extended and has warned that it will take action to ensure its own security if the agreement is not implemented.
