The Iraqi Foreign Minister emphasized that there is no alternative to using diplomatic channels to end this situation, stating that Baghdad is ready to play a mediating role between the two countries.

Fuad Hussein also pointed to the importance of diplomacy in reducing tensions and stressed: "Diplomacy is the only way that can help us escape this dangerous situation. We must rely on dialogue and agreement instead of using force."

Consequences of Current Tensions
The conflict between the U.S. and Iran not only affects the security situation in the region but also has economic and social repercussions for neighboring countries. Iraq, due to its geographical position, is heavily impacted by the current situation and is in need of stability and peace.
In conclusion, Fuad Hussein emphasized: "We are always ready to act towards establishing peace and stability in the region, and for this reason, we invite both sides to turn to diplomacy and dialogue. This is the only way that can lead to the end of this crisis."
