Iraq rejects use of its territory for attacks on neighboring states, says analyst

Political analyst Wathiq Al-Jaberi said Iraq is seeking to distance itself from all regional and international conflicts.

Speaking to Al Arabiya FM, Al-Jaberi added that Iraq rejects the use of its territory as a launchpad for attacks against any friendly or neighboring country, as such actions would create crises at a time when Iraq aims to improve relations and build partnerships with other nations.

The analyst noted that Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has granted security forces the authority to act immediately and take appropriate measures if any threat to neighboring countries emerges.

He added that a number of Iraqi forces have been deployed to monitor desert areas, and the government has implemented several measures to ensure that weapons remain solely under state control, taking action against those who do not comply.

The prime minister has also decided to form a joint security committee and establish strict mechanisms to prevent any threats or violations originating from Iraqi territory against neighboring states. Security agencies have been tasked with enforcing the law and protecting sovereignty, while affirming the armed forces' readiness to thwart any attacks and Iraq's firm commitment not to allow its land to be used as a base or corridor for aggression against other countries, in line with international law.
