TEHRAN (AFP) - The "chaos" in Iraq (news - web sites) will only end with the departure of foreign forces from the country, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman warned.
"We do not support any acts which endanger the life of the innocent, but we think that the presence of foreign forces and the way they behave towards the Iraqis are the principal cause of insecurity in Iraq", Hamid-Reza Asefi said in his weekly press conference.
"So for calm to return, it is necessary for the foreign forces to leave Iraq and to agree to give the future of this country to the Iraqis as soon as possible," Asefi said Monday. "Only under these conditions, can we hope for the end of chaos in Iraq."
