Iraq Condemns Attacks on Iranian Nuclear Facilities
By John Lee. The Iraqi government has issued a strong condemnation of recent attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran, warning that such actions threaten regional and global security. In a statement released by government spokesman Basim Alawadi on Sunday, Iraq described the military escalation as a " grave threat to peace and security in the Middle East " and called for respect for the sovereignty of states and the protection of vital infrastructure, particularly those under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). While not mentioning the United States directly, the statement was issued following US attacks on nuclear-related sites in Iran. Full statement from the Iraqi Government spokesperson: The Iraqi government expresses its deep concern and strong condemnation of the targeting of nuclear facilities within the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This military escalation constitutes a grave threat to peace and security in the Middle East and poses serious risks to regional stability. Iraq reaffirms its principled rejection of the use of force in international relations and calls for full respect for the sovereignty of states and the protection of their vital infrastructure, particularly facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency and used for peaceful purposes. Iraq emphasizes that military action can never serve as a substitute for dialogue and diplomacy. The continuation of such attacks risks dangerous escalation with consequences that extend beyond the borders of any single state, threatening the security of the entire region and the world. Iraq reminds the international community that wars leave only destruction in their wake, and that the responsibility of major powers and the United Nations agencies must lie in preventing crises, not igniting them. From its unwavering commitment to regional and international peace and stability, Iraq calls for immediate de-escalation and the urgent opening of diplomatic channels to contain the situation and defuse the crisis. This must be done in a manner that safeguards collective security and upholds the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
