Iraqi Commander Underlines Iran’s Seriousness in Fight against Terrorism

(FNA)- Secretary-General of the powerful Badr Organization Hadi al-Ameri stressed that Washington has never been serious about campaign against terrorism, while Iran has never left Iraq alone in these hard days of fight against ISIL.

Ameri lashed out at the US for failing to fulfill its earlier promises to provide Baghdad with military assistance in the fight against Takfiri terrorists, but praised Iran’s supports for the Iraqi security forces in anti-terror operations, adding that "help from Iran is unconditional".

He stressed that receiving weaponry and military assistance from the US should not take place at the expense of sacrificing Iraq’s sovereignty, censuring those who "kiss the hands of the Americans and get nothing in return".

"Our sovereignty is more important than US weapons… We can bring weapons from any country in the world," Ameri stated.

In January, Iraqi Interior Minister Mohammed Salem al-Ghabban lauded the Iranian government and nation for their supports for his country, and said the Iraqi government and people will never forget Iran's assistance to them.

He reiterated that Iran's cooperation in Iraq's ongoing fight against the Takfiri terrorists was crucial for his country.
