Saudi FM wakes up from hibernation: 'Iran is taking over Iraq'. (AA).
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned on Thursday of Iran’s ‘destabilizing’ policies in the region and stressed on ensuring Tehran doesn’t acquire nuclear weapons.
In a strongly worded statement, al-Faisal told reporters during a joint conference with Kerry in Riyadh that “Iran is taking over Iraq.”
Kerry said the United States was keeping an eye on Iran's 'destabilizing' acts even as the two nations try to reach a deal on Tehran's nuclear program.
“Even as we engage in these discussions with Iran around this program, we will not take our eye off Iran's destabilizing actions” in the region,” he told reporters.
Kerry said Iran is still considered a state-sponsor of terrorism, adding that his country was aware of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani’s presence and activity in Iraq.
Soleimani is reportedly overseeing Shiite militias in the major offensive to expel Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants from the city of Tikrit. Hmmm......Qasem Suleimani has done all the groundwork these last months, meeting tribes in Iraq, it was up for grabs. Read the full story here.
