TEHRAN — Two hard-line newspapers seen as speaking for Iran's clerical establishment called yesterday for Iraqis to oppose a strategic framework deal with the United States, Tehran's first public condemnation of the arrangement.
The papers accused Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of caving in to American demands over the pact.
Mr. al-Maliki's government and the U.S. began negotiations in March on the deal meant to provide for long-term bilateral ties and a status of forces arrangement regulating U.S. military operations in Iraq.
