"We will leave Iraq whenever Iraq asks us to. STOCKHOLM: Iran's foreign minister said on Wednesday that Tehran had no intention of leaving Iraq and criticised "arrogant" Saudi Arabia for accusing it of stoking sectarian violence. "It's an absurd statement, it's an arrogant statement. "That's the worst miscalculation anybody has made in our region," he said. "I believe the sooner Saudi Arabia comes to understand that ISIS is first and foremost a threat against them, then, anybody else, the sooner we are able to confront this total menace for all of us, not only in the region but in the world," Zarif added, using another acronym for the Islamic State group.
