The United State of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have reached a rare consensus in Iraq after the announcement of the new ministers, including the Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

Iraq, the battle ground of the U.S. and Iran confrontations and tensions in the middle east has witnessed unrest and difficulty in forming a government for a while.

While U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday in a tweet expressed his approval of the new Iraqi government, vowing to support them as they begin their service to the Iraqi people, similarly, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif congratulated the new Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi and all Iraqis on forming the new government in the country.

Zarif wrote on Twitter Thursday: “Congratulations to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, his government, parliament and the Iraqi people, for the first time, for the success in forming a new government.” He stressed that Iran always stands with the Iraqi people and chooses those who manage their affairs.

Al-Kazemi, on Thursday morning, took the constitutional oath before the House of Representatives, after they voted on members of his government. Earlier, the United Nations, Washington and London expressed their support to the formation of the Iraqi government headed by Al-Kazemi.
