US denies reports on Congress vote for Iraq division

BAGHDAD, Nov 29 (KUNA) -- The US Embassy in Baghdad denied on Sunday recent media reports about the US Congress's intention to vote for a bill dividing Iraq into three states.
Recent media reports which indicate that the US Congress will vote on the portioning of Iraq are simply untrue reports, the embassy said in a statement.
However, the embassy reiterated Washington's support for Iraq's national unity, and opposition to any foreign interference in the sovereign affairs of Iraq.
The embassy added that the US would continue working with the Iraqi government in order to undermine and defeat the ISIS, according to the statement. (end) ahh.mt
