Iraq assured Iran on Friday that it supports Iran's right to develop nuclear energy and will not allow Iraqi territory to be used to threaten Iran, adopting a position at odds with America's view that Iran should abandon its nuclear program.
Speaking during a visit by the Iranian foreign minister to Iraq to congratulate the new government formed a week ago, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Iraq's new government is "friendly" to Iran.
"Iraq definitely will not be a place to threaten Iran from," Zebari said at a news conference in Baghdad, with the Iranian foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, standing at his side.
