Al-Zaidi Warns Against Renewed Attacks on Neighboring Countries from Iraqi Territory

Iraq's government is taking "strict measures" to prevent its territory from being used to launch attacks against neighboring countries, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced. The Ministerial Council for National Security, chaired by al-Zaidi, ordered the formation of a joint security committee to develop deterrent mechanisms against security breaches.

Al-Zaidi directed Iraqi security agencies to enforce the law, strengthen stability, and safeguard national sovereignty. The council reaffirmed the armed forces' readiness to thwart any attempts to target neighboring states. The government reiterated its commitment not to allow Iraqi territory to be used as a launchpad for attacks, aligning with its responsibility to protect sovereignty and uphold international law.

Iraq will not be part of the conflict in the region.

Government spokesman Haider Al-Aboudi stated that Iraq will not be part of the regional conflict and that clear measures have been adopted to prevent threats from being launched from Iraqi soil. He emphasized that the Iraqi state rejects allowing its territory to serve as a corridor for aggression and opposes foreign interference in its internal affairs.

Meanwhile, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) announced that their Nineveh Operations Command ordered the evacuation of PMF headquarters and positions in Nineveh province. This precautionary measure is in anticipation of possible US airstrikes should war break out in the region. A PMF source indicated that personnel at sensitive sites are relocating to alternative locations, leaving minimal security at main facilities to reduce potential casualties.
