Iraq says will not allow any party to use its territory as base for attacks on Iran

Iraq will not allow any party or anyone to use Iraqi territory as a base for attacks against Iran, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian over a phone call on Wednesday, Anadolu reports. While Iraq is committed to Iran’s security and sovereignty, attacks targeting Iraqi territory constitute a violation of sovereignty, and undermine Baghdad’s efforts to end the war and return to dialogue, Sudani said, according to a statement by his office on US social media company X. He also expressed Iraq’s “rejection and condemnation of the unjust war targeting Iran, emphasizing Iraq’s concern for the security and peace of the region and its brotherly peoples.” READ: Iraqi factions threaten to target US interests, vow to protect […]
