Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani warned of a dangerous slide that may drag the region and the world into ongoing wars.
Al-Sudani said in a statement that with the passage of a year since the outbreak of the events of October 7, 2023, and the continuation of the Zionist aggression on Gaza, and its extension to brotherly Lebanon, and the threat to the entire region, Iraq reminds of its early position, in which it warned of the consequences of the usurping entity’s efforts to expand the war and conflict, and the results of letting it persist in committing crimes, amid the inability of the international community to play its role.
Today, in light of the serious repercussions that the region witnessed, we address our message to all friends, especially US President Joe Biden and the European Union countries, that we stand on the threshold of a dangerous slide that may drag the region and the world into ongoing wars, shake the global economy, and expose development to a major setback, especially since our re
gion represents the lungs through which the world breathes energy, and here we must appreciate the important position of French President Emmanuel Macron, who called for stopping the supply of weapons to the usurping entity, and working to end the war, because it is a position that stems from a true appreciation of the seriousness of the situation in the region.
Al-Sudani stressed: Our government has worked hard to spare Iraq the effects of this escalation, and we have succeeded in doing so with you and in cooperation with all friends in the world, and the current stage requires doubling our efforts, and that at the top of our priorities is stopping the targeting of civilians, and saving the region from the evils of a war that leaves nothing behind, and in which there will be no winner except the logic of killing, sabotage and destruction.
Al-Sudani concluded: We also confirm that Iraq will continue its efforts and endeavors with friendly and brotherly countries, and joint work for calm, and to prevent the
expansion of the conflict that affects the security of the region and the world.
