[size=45]The ministry’s spokesman, Ahmed Al-Sahaf, said in a televised interview, followed by (Al-Mada), that “Iraq strongly condemns and denounces the Iranian attacks with missiles and marches on the regions of the Kurdistan region, today, which resulted in the death and injury of a number of innocent Iraqis.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sahhaf stressed that "the hostile approach and the blatant Iranian encroachment on Iraqi sovereignty will not be a factor for stability, but rather will raise the level of confusion and tension in the region."[/size]
[size=45]The Foreign Ministry spokesman vowed that “Iraq will take high-level diplomatic measures, and we will not hesitate in preserving the sovereignty, security, and stability of Iraq and its people,” stressing that “the Iranian attacks on Kurdistan fuel an environment of tension and allow extremist groups the opportunity to expand, and make Iraqi lands an arena for settling scores and disputes.” .[/size]
[size=45]Al-Sahhaf stated that “the Iraqi constitution stipulates that Iraqi lands should not be used as a headquarters and a corridor to harm neighboring countries, and we rejected and reject unilateral measures from the Iranian side or any side that harms the sovereignty of Iraq, and that these actions are not available in coordination with the Iraqi government and harm the principles of good neighborliness.” . For his part, the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, confirmed that the region does not want to pose a threat to neighboring countries, but rather a factor of stability in the region. Barzani said in a speech during the opening ceremony of the Institute of Creativity and Renewal in Erbil, "Unfortunately, the Koysanjak region and some border areas were bombed. The Kurdistan region wants to be a factor of stability in the region, and it has good relations with all its neighbors, but the Iraqi government must put an end to it." for these breaches.[/size]
[size=45]In turn, the researcher on security and strategic affairs, Alaa Al-Nashua, told (Al-Mada) that “the repeated attacks on Iraqi territory have become almost daily, and Iran is in a state of chaos and seeks to export it to neighboring countries.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Nashu' added, "The reaction from the Iraqi side towards the Iranian bombing is very shy and does not rise to the required level."[/size]
[size=45]The security researcher pointed out that "the Iraqi political system and the military institution need a strong will to ward off dangers and preserve the country's sovereignty."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Nashu' pointed out, "There are goals and motives behind the bombing, because the Kurdistan region has a good international and regional reputation with great effects." For its part, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq, UNAMI, condemned the Iranian attacks on the Kurdistan region, while stressing that dialogue is the way forward.[/size]
[size=45]And the mission stated in a post, followed by (Al-Mada), “We condemn the renewed Iranian attacks with missiles and drones on the Kurdistan region, which violate Iraqi sovereignty.”[/size]
[size=45]She added, "Iraq should not be used as an arena for settling scores, and its territorial integrity must be respected," noting that "dialogue between Iraq and Iran on common security concerns is the only way forward."[/size]
