Iraq’s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein noted Baghdad’s
commitment to state sovereignty and rejection of regional escalation during the
165th session of the Arab League Council, the Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.
Hussein pointed out that Iraq “will not be a battleground
for settling regional scores” and will not allow its territory to be used to
attack neighboring countries, adding that the Iraqi government remains
committed to safeguarding national sovereignty and strengthening ties with
neighboring states.
“The war has caused casualties among Iraqi civilians and
security personnel and damaged government institutions, service facilities,
residential areas, and diplomatic premises,” he stated, referring to a recent
attack targeting the residence of Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani
in Duhok.
Earlier this week, Iraq’s Foreign Ministry noted that Iraq is
taking necessary measures to address security challenges in line with the
constitution and the law, expressing Iraq’s readiness to receive information related
to attacks launched from Iraqi territory.
On March 25, six Arab countries called on Iraq to prevent attacks by armed
groups operating from its territory, warning of escalation if no action is
taken. The call followed claims by the armed group Awliyaa Al-Dam of carrying
out more than 130 operations across Iraq, the Kurdistan Region, Syria, Jordan,
and Gulf states.
