Iran, Iraq sign three MoUs on judicial cooperation

Iran and Iraq have signed three memorandums of understanding to boost judicial and legal cooperation between the two neighboring states.

According to reports, the documents were inked in Baghdad on Tuesday by the prosecutor generals, justice ministers and heads of the two countries’ prison organizations.

The signing ceremony followed a meeting between Iran’s Judiciary Chief Hojjat al-Islam Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi and Fayeq Zeidan, the president of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council.

During the meeting, the two officials exchanged views on the strengthening and developing of bilateral judicial and legal ties.

Raeisi is also expected to hold talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, President Barham Salih and Parliament Speaker Mohamed al-Halbousi.

Upon his arrival in Iraq, the Judiciary Chief visited the site near Baghdad International Airport, where the US terrorists martyred top Iranian and Iraqi anti-terror commanders.

One of the most important goals of Raeisi’s visit to Iraq is to follow up the case of the assassination operation.

Last month, a Baghdad court issued an arrest warrant for Trump as part of its investigation into the assassination of General Soleimani and Muhandis.

Iran has already issued a warrant for the arrest of the ex-US president and asked Interpol to relay it as a “red notice” to other police forces around the world.
