Bahrain Mirror (Reuters): The Iraqi Foreign Ministry rejected on Saturday what it called US interference in its affairs after the US embassy issued a statement telling neighboring Iran to respect Iraq's sovereignty allow demobilization of Shi'ite militias.
The US embassy in Baghdad had posted a message on Twitter on Tuesday saying Tehran must "respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi government and permit the disarming, demobilization, and reintegration" of Shi'ite militias.
It was one of several statements issued on the embassy's Twitter account outlining US demands before new US sanctions on Iran's oil and financial sector take effect on Nov. 4. The sanctions worry Iraq as it imports crucial supplies from Iran.
