Iraq is outside the ongoing regional conflict and does not
wish to become involved despite being among the countries most affected by its
security, economic, and political repercussions, the country’s Foreign Ministry
said on Thursday, following a warning by the US Embassy over potential security
concerns.
In a press statement, the ministry noted that “certain
parties or individuals may attempt, contrary to the state’s direction, to take
unilateral actions or exploit their positions or official capacities to carry
out activities that do not represent official policy,” labeling these acts as
unlawful.
“Furthermore, incidents of abuse of authority by individuals
in various countries around the world do not justify generalizations or the
attribution of responsibility to governments or institutions for individual
actions,” the ministry said.
The government confirmed it is intensifying efforts to
enhance security measures, protect diplomatic missions and foreign interests,
and safeguard citizens, while continuing to ensure Iraqi territory is not used
as a launchpad for hostile activities.
