| Iran strongly rejected allegations that it was trying to interfere in the upcoming elections. "The Iraqi people have a shining record in fighting foreign exploitation and occupation and have proven that they won't accept foreign domination," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza said. "Unfortunately, some political currents in Iraq seek to tarnish the trend of elections there and cause concern in the public opinion," Asefi added. Asefi's statement came one day after Iraq's interim President Ghazi al-Yawer and Jordan's King Abdullah II, accused Iran of trying to meddle in the elections. |
