TEHRAN (Defapress) - Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, announced in a message: I traveled to Baghdad to convey the Iranian and the Islamic Republic of Iran's appreciation and gratitude for the empathy and support of the people and the officials of Iraq. The Iraqi nation follows the leader of the martyrs, Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), in resistance and steadfastness, and Abal Fadl al-Abbas in loyalty.

Brigadier General Qaani continued: The formation of a government is their right. Iraq is too big for others, especially criminals against humanity, to interfere in its affairs. The selection of the prime minister is made solely based on the Iraqi decision.
