KUWAIT (Dispatches) -- Iraq’s president on Sunday urged the United States to consider Baghdad’s political and economic position as the countries negotiate on relief for Iraq from Washington’s reimposed sanctions against Iran.
"We do not want Iraq to be burdened with the U.S. sanctions on Iran,” Barham Salih said here. Iraq wanted to maintain "balanced” relations with all its neighbours and the international community, he said. "Iran is a neighboring country and our interest lies in having good and stable relations with Iran.”
