TEHRAN – The Iraqi ambassador to Iran has warned of possible security threats during the mourning rituals of Arba'een, saying mourners’ stay time in Iraq has been reduced.

“Arba’een mourners certainly need a visa to enter Iraq,” Fars news agency quoted Rajeh al-Moussawi as having said.

The Iraqi diplomat also underlined the importance of Iran-Iraq relations, calling on Iranian and Iraqi people to get united against the enemies who seek to breed division between the two nations.
