In response to this question that if there is possibility that Russia transfers its military operation to Iraq Velayati said it depends on the Iraqi people and Iraqi government’s demand. If Iraqi government wants it and requests it, it is Iraqi people’s right that ask Russia for help as Iran helps Iraqi government.
