Iranian Ambassador to Baghdad Iraj Masjedi revealed that his country’s “advisors” have departed Iraq.
He said during a meeting with Iraqi reporters: “Iran has no military presence or bases or advisors in Iraq.”
“All the advisors who were in this country had arrived here through coordinating with the Iraqi government to provide support during its war on ISIS,” he explained.
“They have quit Iraq after the declaration of victory against this terrorist group,” Masjedi stressed.
“In contrast to Iran, the United States, despite eliminating ISIS, has maintained its full force in the region,” he added.
Baghdad had declared victory against ISIS in December 2017.
