The possibility of facilitating security agreements between Iran and the Kurdistan Region during Barzani's recent visit to Tehran: expert
Seyed Reza Sadr al-Hosseini, an expert on Middle East issues, said that it seems that what was part of the security agreements between Tehran and Baghdad has been finalized about 60% and with the diligent cooperation of the central government of Iraq, significant changes have been made in the security of the common borders of Kurdistan region and Iran.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran considers the Kurdish provinces of Iraq to be a part of the territory of Iraq and does not recognize an independent identity for these provinces and its government," Sadr al-Hosseini said in an exclusive interview with ILNA.
"It seems that Nichervan Barzani's visit to Tehran can be very effective in facilitating and speeding up security agreements along with economic issues," he added.
"Considering the severe economic needs of the Kurdistan provinces of Iraq to import various goods and industrial artefacts, no country will be closer than Iran to import agricultural products, industrial artefacts, energy (gas and oil) and help in the development of this region," he added.
