Iraq condemns attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait – Shafaq News

Shafaq News- Baghdad

Iraq on Thursday condemned attacks targeting the territories
of Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, warning of the risk of a broader regional
confrontation.

Foreign Ministry expressed deep concern over “a renewed
escalation in the region,” warning that the developments could have serious
consequences for regional security and stability.

The ministry said the current circumstances require greater
emphasis on dialogue, wisdom, and intensified efforts to contain tensions,
rather than further escalation. It also called on all parties to exercise
restraint and coordinate efforts to end the cycle of conflict and escalation.
The ministry urged the adoption of diplomatic channels and peaceful solutions
to address ongoing crises and strengthen security and stability across the
region.

“The stability of Arab countries and neighboring states is
closely linked to Iraq’s own stability and national security,” the ministry
stated, noting that preserving strategic relations among regional countries and
protecting shared interests “remain essential to meeting the aspirations of
their populations for development and prosperity.

It stressed the importance of taking into account the shared
strategic interests of all parties “to prevent further tensions and instability
in the region.” 

US forces carried out a second consecutive night of attacks against Iranian
targets, which Washington described as a response to ongoing Iranian
aggression.

Iran, in turn, attacked many US bases in the region, as well
as announcing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
