The Iranian Interior Minister announced that Iranian pilgrims will no longer require a visa to enter Iraq during the Arbaeen Pilgrimage. 

According to sources, Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli told reporters on the sidelines of the Council of Ministers meeting that the visa to Iraq will be removed for Iranian visitors during the Arbaeen visit, but that does not mean that there is no supervision of the pilgrims. 

He added that an Iraqi minister will visit Tehran next Sunday and hold a meeting with him to discuss this matter.
