Senior cleric: Iran, Iraq unity beneficial for Islamic Umma

The senior cleric made the remarks in a meeting with Iran's new Ambassador to Iraq Iraj Masjedi.

He said that embassies of Iran and Iraq should try to maintain and expand unity among the two nations and do not allow enemies sow discord in Islamic Umma.

The two embassies also should try to create and maintain security for pilgrims, who arrive in Iraq for holy shrines.

Ayatollah Noori Hamedani praised works of popular volunteer forces in fight against terrorist groups in Iraq and wished immediate liberation of Mosel, a city in north of Iraq and capital of Nineveh province.
