While considering this issue and the fact that naturally Iran will take the necessary measures to ensure its security if the Iraqi side does not fulfill its obligations, what is the explanation of his Highness in this regard? Have you made any arrangements to fulfill these obligations? If so, at what stage are those arrangements?
In response to this question, Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani said: Before signing the aforementioned agreement with Iran, we had formed a committee consisting of representatives of the central government and representatives of the federal government of the Kurdistan Region regarding the solution to the security problems that the armed counter-revolution had for the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which after reaching this agreement, this committee also continued its activity with more seriousness.
The Prime Minister of Iraq emphasized: For many reasons, as the government of Iraq, We consider ourselves obliged to resolve Tehran's security concerns regarding the terrorist movements based in the Kurdistan Region, and for this purpose, we have spent more than two hundred million dollars on this issue and deployed more than three thousand Iraqi national army troops across the borders of Iran and the Kurdistan region.
Al-Sudani added: Of course, this issue has many complications, and for this reason, although we have succeeded in disarming the anti-revolutionary Kurdish movements and groups, the transfer of all of them to other places has not been completed yet. But Iraq’s government is determined to fulfil its obligations regarding the Tehran-Baghdad security agreement before this agreement’s deadline.
