This gathering of tribal leaders from different parts of Iraq attended at the Iranian embassy, during a meeting with Iran's Ambassador to Baghdad Iraj Masjedi, emphasized that any possible war against Iran is considered a war against Iraq and Iraq is ready to defend the Islamic Iran.

In this visit, the Iranian Ambassador in Iraq also described the role of tribes in the history of both Iran and Iraq.
He said that Iran and Iraq are a single nation, and threats and attacks against each are threat against the other one.
The diplomat referred to the words of Imam Khomeini on tribes as the reserves of the country and the Revolution, and considered the tribes as honor of the nations and the governments of Iran and Iraq, and pointed out that the tribes always played a significant role in defusing and confronting the plots in the two countries.
