Iraq recalls ambassador from Tehran, summons Iran’s chargé d’affaires over Erbil strikes | Oneindia
Iraq has taken a strong diplomatic stance by recalling its ambassador from Tehran for consultations and summoning Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Baghdad.
This move comes in protest against Iranian strikes on northern Iraq, resulting in the unfortunate death of several civilians overnight.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry condemned the Iranian attack as a "blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq." It emphasised that such actions contradict the principles of good neighbourliness, breach international law, and pose a threat to the security of the region.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reaffirms Tehran's right to retaliate against Israel for its recent airstrikes on Iranian military sites. The response will be strategic and timely, with Iran emphasizing strength to deter further Israeli actions while avoiding unnecessary escalation. Araghchi stresses the importance of political and military preparedness to secure regional stability.

According to Ynet News and Iran International reports, Tehran has secretly selected Mojtaba Khamenei, the second son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, as Iran's next leader. The decision reportedly came during a confidential September 26 Assembly of Experts meeting, called due to the 85-year-old leader's alleged illness. Despite initial opposition, 60 assembly members unanimously approved the succession under pressure. Sources suggest power transfer might occur during the elder Khamenei's lifetime to ensure smooth transition.

In a dramatic revelation, Iran reportedly sent a confidential message to the United States prior to the 2024 presidential election, assuring Washington that it had no plans to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump. This assurance, delivered in mid-October, was Tehran's response to a stern warning from the U.S., which had made it clear that any attempt on the life of a former American official would be considered “an act of war.”

Despite fundamental differences and Trump's previous "maximum pressure" policy, Iranian President Pezeshkian advocates pragmatic engagement.
