Iran's defense minister, Hashd al-Sha'abi official meet in Baghdad

During the meeting General Hatami slammed big powers and crimes committed by them.

World hegemonic powers committed numerous crimes and have overtly provided all kinds of supports to the enemies of Islam, he said.

The Iraqi commander described as outstanding recent victories of the Resistance Forces in defeating Daesh (ISIS) terrorists.

He praised and described as crucial the role played by Iran's Supreme Leader, religious authorities and Ayatollah Ali Sistani in fostering unity among Hashd al-Sha'abi fighters.

Al-Mohandas expressed hope for establishment of full security and stability in Iraq in the near future through sincere cooperation between the government and people.
