Iran Press/Iran news: A senior aide to Ali Larijani and former deputy foreign minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian addressed the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a tweet on Friday, saying: "People in the Middle East know well the White House is mainly responsible for Iraq's military occupation, the creation of ISIS terrorist group, more insecurity, further corruption, and killing of more than 1 million Iraqis.”
“There is no doubt that without the US' interference, both Iraq and the Middle East will be safe and stable,” he added.
Amir-Abdollahian was responding to Pompeo’s Tuesday tweet, in which he accused Tehran of meddling in the affairs of Iraq and Lebanon.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also said earlier that the only way to achieve security in the region is by stopping the US' intervention and the Zionist regime's escalating interferences, or else the insecurity will continue.

Similar to Iraq, Lebanon has also witnessed mass anti-government demonstrations, which led to the resignation of Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri late last month.
