ERBIL — Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani has warned US President Joe Biden about the risks of the regional situation spiraling out of control, both militarily and in terms of security.
On Sunday, Iraqi official media released a letter in which al-Sudani addressed President Biden as well as the European Union, warning them that the situation in the region could escalate.
"Our region is on the verge of a dangerous slide that could plunge the world into continuous war," al-Sudani stated in his letter to Biden and the European Union.
"Following October 7 and the continued Zionist hostilities in Gaza and then in Lebanon, Iraq has expressed its stance on Israeli attacks, which endanger the region and escalate the conflict, leading to crime. The international community cannot shirk its responsibility in stopping these massacres," added the Iraqi Prime Minister.
"We send a message to our allies, especially the United States and the European Union, that the region is on the brink of a deep crisis that could lead to widespread war and global economic collapse. It is crucial for all of us to work together to prevent this danger," al-Sudani warned.
The Prime Minister's letter comes as the Israeli army has launched air and ground attacks into southern Lebanon to confront Hezbollah fighters, while threatening groups attacking Israel from the region, including from Iraq.
