He added that "the Council followed up on the developments and conditions in the region, where the Prime Minister confirmed that the message sent by the Zionist entity to the UN Security Council represents a pretext and excuse to attack Iraq, and to achieve the entity's ongoing efforts to expand the war in the region."
Al-Sudani stressed, according to the statement, "that Iraq rejects these threats, and that the decision of war and peace is a decision in the hands of the Iraqi state, and no party is allowed to confiscate this right," noting "Iraq's refusal to enter the war, while adhering to the principled position of ending it, and seeking to provide relief to the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples."
He directed "holding an emergency meeting today of the Ministerial Council for National Security, to follow up on developments and confirm the Iraqi position."
