TEHRAN -- Iran has not signed a deal to supply arms and ammunition to Iraq, Iranian ambassador to Baghdad Hassan Danaeifar was quoted as saying by semi-official Fars news agency on Tuesday.

"No agreement on military and arms cooperation has been inked with the Iraqi side so far," Danaeifar said, refuting recent Western media reports of an Iran-Iraq arms deal.  

However, Iran will be ready to consider such a request if it is filed by its friendly neighbor Iraq, Danaeifar told Fars.

Earlier this week, some Western media reported that "Iran has signed a deal to sell Iraq arms and ammunition worth $195 million."
