He denied the news and said that it was a cheap propaganda. He urged the parties to work in favor of Syria and the Syrian people and do not turn out to be the horns and tools in the hands of some foreign countries, hich aimed to worsen the reputations of Iraq.
He added that Iraq is against the possession of these weapons and other weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the world and under any pretext.
