Iran Responds to Accusations of Involvement in Missile Attack in Iraq

The Iranian Foreign Ministry considered the accusation of Iran's involvement in the missile attack in Iraq as an attempt to destabilize the relationship between Iran and Iraq, describing it as very suspicious and a threat to regional stability and peace.

Al-Mayadeen channel reported the Iranian Foreign Ministry's response to the allegations regarding the attack in Iraq, stating: "There are third parties seeking to escalate regional tensions," urging the Iraqi government to seriously pursue uncovering the truth and identifying the perpetrators of the recent crimes. The Foreign Ministry pointed out that the increase of foreign troops in Iraq is itself a cause for destabilizing security.

Regarding the nuclear agreement, the ministry revealed that Iran will stop implementing the additional protocol starting tomorrow while continuing to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) within the framework of mutual collaboration. It added, "Everything we have decided with the agency falls within the framework of our strategic decision to lift sanctions," emphasizing that they would not give the United States another opportunity to engage with the IAEA.

The ministry reiterated its position of not engaging in any negotiations until the sanctions are lifted, noting, "We are considering U.S. participation as a guest in the upcoming nuclear talks," and emphasized that Iran's stance remains firm against any negotiations prior to the lifting of sanctions, asserting that "the exit of the U.S. from its isolation is not possible through statements but requires serious action and a departure from arrogance."

In the same context, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, stated, "Today's EU meeting discusses the possibility of Washington's return to the Iranian nuclear agreement."
