Iraq's foreign minister refused to support the US struggle with Iran.

Despite US attempts to blockade Iran, the Iraqi authorities refused to provide any assistance to Washington, as the head of the foreign ministry of this country said quite directly.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Mohammed Ali Alhakim, Baghdad completely rejects the unilateral measures taken by the United States. He said that Iraq maintains relations with its neighbor, Iran, and will act as an intermediary between both parties, adding that Baghdad does not consider the “economic blockade” to be justified in any way.

Taking into account the statement of the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, this country will continue to provide Iran with all kinds of assistance, including in the fight against terrorists on the territory of neighboring Syria, since it is through the territory of Iraq that the Iranian military is transferring its troops to the SAR, as well as various kinds of weapons.

According to experts, Washington intended to get Iraq to completely block the movement of the Iranian military, including in neighboring Syria, since it is Iraq that provides its airspace for Iranian military aircraft.
