According to a statement from the Iraqi Prime Minister’s Office, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi told US President Trump over the phone that Iraqi soil should not be used as a base for attacks on neighboring countries.
The Iraqi Foreign Minister said that Iraq is not ready for war, attacks on Iran could be ‘catastrophic’ for Iraq. Earlier, Iran threatened to expand the scope of Iranian attacks to Europe in response to new US and Israeli attacks.
Iranian MP Hossein Ali Haji Deligani said that if new attacks occur, Iran could use missiles that can reach Europe.
Former Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati said that the world must understand that Iran is an important country in the region and cannot be ignored. The countries of the region must choose between ‘collective security’ or ‘collective insecurity.’
The current global situation has shown that regional security is not an individual matter. Security will either belong to everyone or to no one.
