BAGHDAD (AFP) - Tehran's ambassador to Baghdad said that Iran stood ready to help train and equip Iraqi security forces to combat what he called terrorism.
Speaking after talks with Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Hassan Kazemi demanded to be shown "any shred of evidence that Iran is working to destabilise Iraq," as the United States alleges.
"Iran is disposed to helping to train and equip Iraqi security forces to combat terrorism."
Kazemi's remarks came eight days after US President George W. Bush announced he was sending 21,500 additional US troops to Iraq to help Iraqi security forces quell sectarian violence
