On Monday, a representative of Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government to Tehran reportedly said that there was still possibility to postpone the independence referendum.

"The Kurdistan Regional Government is studying the proposals by Turkey and the western states over the scheduled vote," Nazim Dabbagh told Iran's Farsi language Etemad newspaper.

"In case there are required guarantees for the rights of the Kurds, they will drop the independence referendum for the time being," Dabbagh said.

Moreover, Iraq's Supreme Court on Monday issued a verdict to stop the independence referendum.

On June 7, Iraq's Kurdish region announced that it had planned to hold a referendum on independence on Sept. 25 to decide whether or not to secede from Iraq.

Iran's political and military officials have announced their opposition to the Iraqi Kurds' referendum.

Turkey, Iran and Syria see that such a step would threaten their territorial integrity, as large populations of Kurds live in those countries.
