“We strongly condemn the attacks targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and reaffirm that Iraq does not accept the use of its territory or airspace as a launchpad for aggression against neighbouring countries.

“Furthermore, protecting Iraq’s sovereignty and maintaining its relations with its regional neighbours is the responsibility of the state and its constitutional institutions.
