 Foreign Minister: We do not want to create a chaotic situation in relations with Washington

The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Fuad Hussein, confirmed that Iraq does not want to create a state of chaos in relations with the United States.

Hussein said in a statement, “Iraq is the one who determines the need for American forces to remain or not,” stressing that the international coalition forces “are present at the invitation of the Iraqi government.”

Hussein continued: “We do not want to create a chaotic situation in relations with Washington,” considering that “the interior must be prepared before negotiations begin for the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq… and in light of the results of the negotiations, the necessary decision will be taken, whether to withdraw or schedule the withdrawal.”

He added that Baghdad assured Washington that the Iraqi government was “committed to calm,” considering that “the recent events are unacceptable, as there were attacks and counterattacks.”

Hussein added that attacks targeting military bases must be “dealt with by both parties,” indicating that the Prime Minister is constantly working to communicate with all parties to reach calm.

He also considered that “the situation has changed in the region after the war on Gaza, and there is an intertwining of national and regional matters,” explaining that “the decision to go to war is determined by the constitution and the law and there is no decision outside the state… The decision to go to war is dangerous and we are not advocates of war as Iraq needs security and stability.”

Hussein stressed that “violating the security situation in Iraq is not permitted by any party, whether external or internal. ”
