MNA � Iranian and Iraqi military officials discussed on the ways to expand security and defense cooperation between the two countries.

In a meeting on Friday, Iran�s military attach� in Baghdad Mostafa Moradian and the Chairman of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi parliament, Mohammed Redha Al-Haidar, conferred on the ways to broaden the security and defense cooperation between the two neighbors.

They highlighted the need to implement the already-signed military and defense agreements, urging the need to promote further cooperation in these areas.

Al-Haidar hailed Iran�s support for Iraq during the country�s fight against ISIL terrorists, noting that such assistance and support was an example of brotherliness between Iran and Iraq.
