WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON FRIDAY?”… IRAQI FOREIGN MINISTER RESPONDS TO NEWS OF US SANCTIONS TOMORROW
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein denied that Iraq had received any warning from the United States about imposing sanctions on Friday against government figures or institutions, commenting on a rumor spread by figures and some media outlets, which spoke of an “American message giving Baghdad the choice between forming a government far from Iran before Friday or starting to launch a package of sanctions.”
Minister Hussein said in an interview with journalist Ghazwan Jassim, which was followed by 964 Network, that Baghdad had not received anything of the sort, and downplayed the importance of those rumors and asked, “What will happen on Friday?”.. But he pointed out that issuing sanctions is part of the policies of countries in general, but without specifying what is related to the Friday deadline that is being circulated.
