Tehran : Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said his country will soon resume talks with US experts on security in Iraq.
Mottaki also confirmed ongoing arrangements for an upcoming visit to Iraq by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the invitation of his Iraqi pair, and assured that it will help promote economic and cultural cooperation.
The Iranian official did not specify the date to resume the fourth round of talks with the US that follow three meetings in 2007 between Iranian Ambassador to Iraq Hassan Kazemi Qomi and US counterpart Ryan Crocker.
The White House accuses Tehran of promoting hostility against the forces occupying Iraq and supplying logistics to the Iraqi resistance.
Iran says the solution to the prevailing insecurity in Iraq is the exit of the foreigners that invaded the country in March 2003 and the 170,000 troops still deployed there.
The increased US-Iran hostility over the past two years is a result of the former claiming the latter’s nuclear program is to develop weapons of mass destruction, but Iran denies such notion.
Washington now tries to increase pressure on the Security Council to adopt a third package of sanctions after Iran was imposed two punitive resolutions in 2007.
