TEHRAN – During a conference in Baghdad, heads of 500 Iraqi tribes, including Shia and Sunni, have denounced Washington’s unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic, IRNA reported on Tuesday.

The tribal leaders came together from around the country to voice their support to the Abdul-Mahdi administration and their opposition to economic siege of nations.

They also underlined their support to the armed popular forces in opposition to the U.S. stance.

In a closing statement, the participants said that Iran has now reached a capability that nobody dares to threaten it.
