TEHRAN (AFP) - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, on his first official visit to Iran, has won a pledge from the Islamic republic of unequivocal support in restoring security to the insurgency-plagued country.

"Iran will give its assistance to establish complete security in Iraq because Iraq's security is Iran's security," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told reporters after talks with Maliki in Tehran.

"We had a good discussion with Mr Ahmadinejad. Even in security issues there is no barrier in the way of cooperation," the Iraqi prime minister said for his part.

The Islamic republic has emerged as one of the strongest allies of the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad after the fall of Saddam Hussein, but has also drawn criticism for allegedly aiding Shiite militants
