In an interview with Baghdad TV, he said: We know well that a decision is made by the Iranian regime not to allow formation of the National Council for Strategic Policy and thus Al-Iraqi’s election rights is not respected.
They have received these instructions in their recent meeting in Tehran. We consider this matter is finished, al-Ani added.
Zafer al-Ani said on the future of political process: The whole political process is in a critical situation. A new monopolistic and authoritarian spirit is dominant. Participants in the political process are not accepted let alone others. I think the political process needs a actual operation so that it is rescued from the current situation. This situation may lead to a disaster.
