Iranian Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh said on Wednesday that Tehran would host more Iraqi refugees under UN supervision and along the borderline, according to the official IRNA news agency.  

 

"In case a number of Iraqi nationals require Iran's humanitarian assistance, we would take actions to host them under UN supervision beyond the border," Ramezanzadeh said in his weekly press conference, when asked about the possibility of more refugee infiltration in case the US launches a war against Baghdad.
