Iraq has officially welcomed the two-week ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, describing the temporary halt in hostilities as a crucial step toward reinforcing regional security and stability. In a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Baghdad\u2019s foreign ministry expressed approval of the pause, which it said would lower tensions and open pathways for calm.<\/p>\n
Regional stability <\/p>\n
The Iraqi government emphasized its backing for any international or regional initiative aimed at containing crises through dialogue and diplomacy. Officials urged all parties to strictly observe the ceasefire and refrain from any provocations that could rekindle conflict. Iraq also called for building on this positive momentum with sustained negotiations to address underlying disputes and foster mutual trust.<\/p>\n
T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s role <\/p>\n
As a neighboring country deeply invested in regional peace, T\u00fcrkiye has consistently advocated for de-escalation between Washington and Tehran. Ankara views the temporary truce as a validation of diplomatic efforts and hopes it will lead to a permanent resolution. Turkish diplomatic sources noted that stability in Iraq and the broader Gulf region directly impacts T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s security and economic interests.<\/p>\n
