Tehran, IRNA – Iran's Judiciary Chief Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeie has stressed the importance of cooperation between Iran and Iraq to establish security in the Islamic world.

Speaking in a meeting with members of Iraq's Coordination Framework late on Tuesday, Ejeie said that the US, and the Zionist regime are carrying out malicious actions against Islamic countries, including against Iran and Iraq.

Therefore, there is a need for unity and cooperation between the two countries more than ever, he said.

Referring to the Zionist regime's crimes against the people of Gaza and their recent actions in Rafah, Ejeie said that Iran and Iraq should be concerned about the Israeli regime's crimes against the oppressed but strong people of Gaza.

He also remembered martyr General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units, who were assassinated by the US military in a drone strike outside Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
