Iraqi PM Slams Israel’s Airspace Violation as a Breach of Sovereignty
Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has strongly condemned Israel’s unauthorized use of Iraqi airspace to carry out military strikes against Iran, calling it a blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and the United Nations Charter.
In a statement reported by Iran’s state media, al-Sudani emphasized that Iraq has formally submitted a complaint to the UN Security Council over the incident. He warned that any attempts to destabilize Iran could have dangerous repercussions for the entire region, including threats to Iraq’s security, stability, and regional oil exports.
Balanced Diplomacy and Regional Stability
Al-Sudani reaffirmed Iraq’s commitment to balanced diplomacy, maintaining strong relations with both Iran and the United States. He stressed that Iraq’s sovereignty is non-negotiable and that Baghdad has conveyed clear messages to its allies about the dangers of escalating tensions in the region.
The Prime Minister also expressed concern over the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of fueling regional conflicts. Despite these challenges, al-Sudani reiterated Iraq’s continued support for the Palestinian cause.
Preparedness Against Escalation
Highlighting Iraq’s proactive stance, al-Sudani noted that Baghdad was prepared to mitigate the consequences of recent hostilities and played a key role in advocating for de-escalation. He underscored the importance of preventing further conflict, which could destabilize the region and disrupt critical infrastructure.
Transition in International Coalition’s Role
Regarding security cooperation, al-Sudani confirmed that negotiations are underway with members of the international coalition to establish bilateral security arrangements ahead of the coalition’s scheduled withdrawal by September 2026.
Background on Recent Attacks
The statement referenced Israel’s June 12th attack on Iran, which targeted civilian and military sites, including nuclear facilities, hospitals, and residential areas, resulting in significant casualties. The U.S. later joined the offensive with direct strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, exacerbating tensions.
Reports indicate that over 950 Iranian citizens were killed and more than 5,000 injured in these attacks, marking a severe escalation in regional hostilities.
