伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊在会见总理马利基时表示，以美国为首的外国军事力量在伊拉克的长期存在，是实现伊拉克民族团结的主要障碍，但他坚信伊拉克人民能克服困难，恢复国家的安全与稳定。他还表示，伊朗将继续支持伊拉克政府和人民。
伊拉克和美国今年3月开始就两国长期关系举行谈判，内容包括美军今后在伊拉克的驻军问题。双方计划今年7月底以前达成协议。伊朗一直对伊拉克和美国的上述谈判以及将签署的相关协议保持关切，并多次要求美国立即从伊拉克撤军。
Iraq's prime minister made little headway in easing Iranian opposition to a U.S.-Iraqi security pact, as Iran's supreme leader told him Monday that American troops must leave the country.
The deal, which is still under negotiation, could lay the groundwork for a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq. The Iranians fear the deal would solidify U.S. influence in Iraq and give American forces a launching pad for military action against them.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met over three days with Iranian leaders in Tehran, trying to ease the neighboring country's opposition to the agreement — apparently hoping to stop Iranian denunciations while assuring the Iranians that a deal would pose no threat to their security.
But in talks Monday, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made clear his rejection of any agreement. He said "occupiers who interfere in Iraq's affairs through their military and security might" are the main cause of Iraq's problems and the "main obstacle in the way of the Iraqi nation's progress and prosperity."
He told al-Maliki that Iraqis must "think of a solution to free" the country from the U.S. military, and he vowed that "America's dream for Iraq will not come true," according to state-run television. Al-Maliki returned to Iraq later Monday, ending his second trip to Tehran in a year.
U.S. officials have accused Iran of trying to scuttle the negotiations. Tehran has considerable influence in Iraq: Besides its ties to mainstream Shiite and Kurdish parties, it is close to anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose followers have been holding weekly demonstrations against the security pact.
The U.S. also accuses Iran of funding and arming Shiite militiamen in Iraq, a claim Tehran denies. American officials believe Iran has used Iranian-backed militant groups, notably Hezbollah in Lebanon, to stir up opposition to the security agreement across the Middle East.
Iranian officials and pro-government newspapers have accused Washington of trying to control Iraq through the security deal.
Maziar Khosravi, an Iranian political analyst with the independent daily Mardomsalari, or Democracy, said Tehran was unlikely to accept any deal. "If the Iraq-U.S. security deal is signed, America's influence will grow in Iraq and Iran's influence will decline," he said. If Baghdad signs an agreement, "Iran may reduce its cooperation with Iraq and avoid cooperation on security issues with the U.S. and Iraq," he said.
The proposed pact is also facing widespread opposition among Iraqi politicians.
Many fear Washington has plans to keep permanent bases, despite a denial of any such plan written into the proposal. Iraqis say the drafts submitted by the Americans thus far would infringe on Iraq's sovereignty by giving U.S. forces too much freedom to operate.
The latest proposed American draft, put forward Sunday, seeks to address some of those concerns. It adds an explicit promise that U.S. forces in Iraq will not attack neighboring countries and that Iraqi authorities will be notified in advance of any action by U.S. ground forces, according to two Iraqi lawmakers familiar with the draft. While the proposal gives U.S. forces the power to arrest suspects, it says any detainees would be handed over to Iraqi authorities, said the lawmakers, Mahmoud Othman and Iman al-Asadi.
Hadi al-Amri, head of the Badr Organization, a pro-government Shiite party with close ties to Iran, said the latest draft was still unacceptable, and warned that the positions and interests of the two sides are so far apart that any kind of agreement is "impossible."
U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo refused to comment on the specifics of the negotiations, which began in March. But, she said, "we have said publicly on numerous occasions that U.S. forces in Iraq will not be used for offensive operations against any of Iraq's neighbors."
The draft is the fourth put forward by the Americans, and earlier versions have been rejected by parties across Iraq's political spectrum, including al-Maliki's Dawa party, other Shiite parties in his coalition and Sunni Arab and Kurdish politicians. For his part, al-Maliki has said he wants a deal that respects Iraqi sovereignty.
Iraq's parliament must approve the deal, and Iraqi officials familiar with the talks said Sunday that it stood no chance of passing without major changes in the U.S. position. They said they believe a deal is unlikely to be reached before the end of President Bush's term in January. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy surrounding the negotiations.
The Bush administration conceded for the first time that it may not finish the agreement before a new president takes office. A senior administration official close to the talks said it is "very possible" the U.S. may have to extend an existing U.N. mandate.
Iraqi and U.S. negotiators are working on two agreements — one, a broad statement of principles on the countries' strategic relationship; and the other, a Status of Forces Agreement detailing the powers U.S. forces will have in Iraq.
The agreements would provide a legal basis for the presence of U.S. forces after the current U.N. mandate expires at the end of the year. The target for completing the talks is July, but it seems likely that negotiations will last longer.
