Iran-Iraq-Terror
Iran said on Saturday that it will not spare support for the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki despite the Thursday's terror attack on Iranian diplomats in Baghdad.

"Tehran will continue with support for the Iraqi government and will spare no efforts to strengthen bilateral ties," the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad said in a statement released on Saturday.

Three Iranian diplomats and one local staffer of Embassy in Baghdad were wounded in an assassination bid on May 15.

US agents opened fire at their motorcade at the diplomatic compound on northern neighborhood of Baghdad.

The Embassy statement said that the diplomats are under medical treatment at the hospital and their health condition is "stable and "progressing".

It added that Iraqi security officials promised to arrest those involved in the terrorist operation and hand them over to Iraqi judiciary officials.

"Such cowardly terrorist attacks cannot stop Iranian diplomats from carrying out their duties as this is not the first time that diplomats and the staff of Iran's Embassy in Baghdad were subject to such terrorist acts," said the statement.

It said that perpetrators of such terrorist attacks "are enemies of the two neighboring countries".

"Similar terrorist acts could damage Iraqi security and stability."
