TEHRAN, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that Tehran will continue helping Baghdad in its efforts to restore peace and stability in the Arab country, Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday.
"Insecurity in Iraq is insecurity in the region ... and the Islamic republic will spare no effort to establish security and peace in Iraq," Larijani said in a meeting with Sheikh Humam Hamoudi, the first Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, in Tehran.
Iran's policy is supporting Iraq's territorial integrity and helping to enhance unity and unanimity among all Iraqi political groups, including Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, he said.
He also hailed recent victories made by the Iraqi troops and volunteer forces against terrorists and hoped for their final victory against terrorism.
Iran has dismissed the claims about Iran's intervention in the neighboring country, saying that Tehran only provides Baghdad with military consultation at the request of the Arab country's government.
