Iran's FM meets with Iraqi, Kurdish officials over border security

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian spoke to reporters today at the Foreign Ministry, addressing a wide range of issues.

On the protests that have rocked Iran over the last few months, especially the northwest Kurdish regions, Amir-Abdollahian said he held “numerous meetings in the last eight weeks” in Baghdad and Tehran with security officials from the central government of Iraq and the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG). He said they reached several agreements in which Iraq “committed to keeping terrorists away from Iran’s borders.”
