TEHRAN (Press TV) -- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani on Wednesday warned about bids to break up Iraq, saying the Arab country’s partitioning serves the interests of Israel.
"The Zionist regime seeks Iraq's disintegration,” Larijani said during a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi here. Larijani said that Takfiri terrorists seek two objectives in Iraq; first to create internal conflicts in the country "to raise the issue of Iraq’s partition, which Israel is seeking," and second to engage Baghdad in domestic issues to undermine its positive role in the region.
