"Tehran and Moscow firmly support Iraq in its fight against terrorism and will strongly stand by the Iraqi nation and government to protect Iraq's unity, independence and territorial integrity," Amir-Abdollahian said in an interview with Iran's al-Alam Arabic-language news channel.
He added that Iran and Russia both oppose any conspiracy for the disintegration of Iraq into smaller entities.
The top Iranian diplomat further said, "Tehran and Moscow have close and in many cases common and coordinated stance on regional developments."
Iran and Russia believe that Iraq, along with its fight against terrorism, should seriously focus on completing the political process in the country for convening the parliament to form a government.
The first session of Iraq's newly elected parliament was adjourned on July 1 for a week without choosing a new speaker after Kurdish politicians boycotted the session over their conflicts with other politicians.
The members of parliament are tasked with naming a new unity government. After choosing the parliament speaker, the politician will have to pick the Iraqi president as well as the prime minister within 45 days.

Nouri al-Maliki... Prime Minister of Iraq and the secretary-general of the Islamic Dawa Party. Maliki imposed order on Basra wen the Shiites were going nuts, but has proven incapable of dealing with al-Qaeda's Sunni insurgency. Reelected to his third term in 2014...
is bidding for a third term, despite stiff opposition from his key rivals.
On the future of Iraq, Abdollahian said Tehran will respect and support any coalition formed by Maliki's State of Law coalition, which won the most parliamentary seats in recent elections.
