Khamenei: Iraq's security affects Iran's security, and Iran's security affects Iraq's security. To safeguard Iraq, we will stand up firmly in front of any party seeking to undermine Iraq's security
Khamenei: Mr. Sudani, you said that based on your Constitution you wouldn't let any group use Iraqi soil to harm Iran's security. But attempts are being made to harm Iran's security in some Iraqi regions. The only solution is for Iraq's central govt. to exert its authority in those areas
Khamenei: Some are hostile to Iraq's progress. They may not express their enmity openly, but they do not respect Mr. Sudani's govt. Stand up firmly to the enemy's plans by relying on the ppl & on the young, motivated forces who successfully countered the vast, deadly risk of the Daesh
Khamenei: Solidarity & unity between Iraq's internal groups and making maximum use of the country's young, motivated forces are vital for Iraq to be able to claim its true position
Khamenei: Iraq is the top regional Arab state when one considers its natural & human wealth, & its cultural & historical background & civilization. But it has yet to claim its deserved, true position. It is hoped Iraq can progress and reach its real position under Mr. Sudani
Khamenei: We congratulate Mr. Shia' al-Sudani on his being elected as Iraq's Prime Minister. He is a devoted, competent person whose appointment as head of the Iraqi government is a source of pride
