Tehran, YJC. Velayati says Iran will be happy to render any help to solve the current situation in Iraq.
Member of the Expediency Discernment Council of the Islamic
Republic of Iran and Head of the council’s Strategic Research Center Ali Akbar Velayati
who has traveled to China attended a working dinner with international and
social studies academics and media representatives on Monday evening.
In the sidelines of the working dinner which was held at Iran’s
Embassy in Beijing, Velayati provided comments on the two countries’ strategic
relations and concerns.
In answer to questions about Iran’s reaction to the recent
developments in Iraq, Velayati, High Assistant to the Supreme Leader of Iran,
stated "The recent actions by Takfiris in Iraq is a result of their outright
defeat in the country’s successful elections and the fact that Nouri al-Maliki
attracted a lot of votes. The extremists are trying to weaken the outcomes of
such a precious victory.”

through this stage, this crisis, successfully,” head of the Expediency
