| (VOI) -- The National Dialogue Front (NDF) on Monday held a conference in Basra demanding to limit "Iran's intervention in Iraq's issues," according to the NDF's Basra branch's secretary general. "Many Iraqis know that Iran has the biggest role in destroying Iraq, by supporting militias and intervening in Iraq's local issues," Adnan al-Mousawi said in his speech during the conference. "Due to those parameters, we addressed an invitation to the Iranian government last June to put an end to those acts and to employ dialogue and consensus to solve problems," he said. "We were surprised that the Iranian government disregarded and ignored the invitation," he added. "We renew our invitation to the Iranian government to stop those acts, to respond to Iraqis demands, to apologize for what it has done to innocents who were targeted by militias supported by Iran, and to compensate those who fell or were injured in sabotage, kidnapping, killing, and detonation operations," he noted. "The ultimatum will last until September 1; otherwise, we in cooperation with many sides that support these demands will employ legal measures to restore the Iraqi rights, and will conduct a campaign to boycott the Iranian products," he proceeded. "We demand to stop supporting the political sides that work for Iran's interest and supported by Iran, and to end the Iranian influence through parties and figures in Iraq," he asserted. "From his side, Awadh al-Abdan, NDF's senior member in Basra, said "The NDF made an initiative recently to solve pending issues between the Iranian government and the Iraqi people, but it was surprised that the Iranian government ignored and disregarded this matter. This is evidence that the Iranian government does not care about the Iraqi blood and destruction in Iraq. The Iranian government should be aware that Iraq's Shiites are at the leading position to encounter Iran's domination. There are many evidences regarding the Iranian involvement in Iraq; a matter that increases venomous Iraqis on the Iranian government." |
