Kuwait’s ambassador to Iraq, Mohammad Hasan Al‑Zamanan, called on the Iraqi government to intervene to stop the attacks his country is facing from Iran, which he said are originating from Iraqi territory. His remarks came during a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister for Bilateral Relations, Ambassador Mohammed Hussein Bahr Al‑Uloom, at the ministry headquarters.
A statement from the ministry said the meeting discussed the latest developments in the region and the impact of the ongoing war on regional stability. They also addressed the seriousness of the current situation amid the continuation of the conflict and its repercussions on regional security and stability.
In his response, Bahr Al‑Uloom affirmed that the Iraqi government is making significant and exceptional efforts to shield Iraq from the consequences of the war and to maintain the country’s security and stability in the face of attacks targeting Iraq, similar to other states in the region.
He stressed that Iraq rejects the logic of war in general, especially the use of its territory as a launchpad for attacks on neighboring countries. He confirmed that the government is taking all necessary measures, under the directives of the political leadership and the Commander‑in‑Chief of the Armed Forces, to pursue those responsible for any actions that harm the country’s interests and its relations with neighboring states.
At the end of the meeting, both sides agreed that Iraq and Kuwait are directly affected by the repercussions of the ongoing regional conflict, emphasizing the importance of joint cooperation to preserve regional security and work toward containing the crisis.
