Iraq's Foreign Minister Denies Iranian Use of Iraqi Soil for Attacks on Israel

Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein has firmly stated that Iran will not utilize Iraqi territory for any anticipated attacks against Israel. This assertion comes in response to reports from Western media suggesting that Iran might launch strikes from Iraq.

Iran (IMNA) - Hussein emphasized, "So far, we have not seen any movement or signs of the Western media's claim that Iran is trying to attack the occupied territories through Iraqi soil." He further noted that the current social, political, economic, and security conditions in Iraq do not permit the country to engage in another conflict. The Iraqi Prime Minister maintains ongoing communication with commanders of local Resistance groups, who have assured that they will refrain from actions that could lead to war.

The Foreign Minister reiterated Iraq's opposition to the use of its land and airspace for attacks against either side, stating, "We have opposed war and aggression against Iran." This statement follows Iran's recent military actions, including launching approximately 200 missiles targeting Israeli military and intelligence facilities on October 1 as part of Operation True Promise II. The operation was a response to Israel's assassinations of prominent Resistance leaders and an IRGC commander.

In retaliation, Israel targeted Iranian border provinces on October 26, which prompted Iran's air defense systems to successfully intercept these attacks. Iran has vowed to respond to Israeli aggression and insists it will defend its rights.
