During his trip, the Iranian diplomat will hold talks with the three Arab countries’ officials mainly on the situation in Iraq and Syria.

The escalating violence in Iraq, following an offensive by the foreign-backed Takfiri militants, has been a source of concern for its neighbors, particularly Iran.

Tehran has on multiple occasions expressed support for unity and calm in Iraq, saying it does its utmost to maintain security in the region through collective efforts by all regional countries.

Since June 10, Iraq has witnessed a fresh wave of violence fueled by the Takfiri terrorists. Violence in Iraq escalated last month after militants from the Islamic State in Iraq And the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group took control of large swathes of the Arab country. The ISIL has vowed to continue its raid towards Baghdad.

Meanwhile, Iraqi security forces backed by thousands of volunteers have pushed ahead with their campaign against the militants and managed to retake control of several areas captured by the ISIL.
