Press TV- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called on neighboring Iraq to remain vigilant in the face of American plots, warning that the US is not trustworthy.
In a Thursday meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in Tehran, the Leader expressed Irans support for the Iraqi governments efforts to develop ties with regional states.
Ayatollah Khamenei, however, advised the Iraqi nation to remain cautious about the Americans deceptions, and never put trust in them.
The Americans created Daesh [Takfiri terrorists] themselves, but now that the terrorists have been defeated by the Iraqi government and people, they pretend to be supportive of this important development, the Leader said.
However, they will undoubtedly not hesitate to harm Iraq again if they find the opportunity, the leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei underlined the importance of unity among different Iraqi ethnic groups as well as Baghdads support for the countrys popular forces as the key reasons behind the recent victories against terrorist groups and their sponsors.
Abadi, for his part, stressed Baghdads determination to safeguard Iraqs unity and territorial integrity, noting that the government will never allow the country to be threatened with disintegration.
