In the statement, these countries emphasized brotherly relations with Iraq and demanded that its government immediately stop attacks on neighboring countries from its soil. It was said that these attacks are being carried out by militias and armed groups, which it is the responsibility of the Iraqi government to control. If this does not happen, there is a possibility of further tension in the area.
These countries made it clear that they have the full right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. The statement said that they have the right to take every necessary step to protect their sovereignty, security and stability. It also praised the alertness of its security agencies in foiling the conspiracies of sleeper cells linked to Iran and terrorist organizations linked to Hezbollah. Let us tell you, since the beginning of the war, Iran has been attacking buildings and military bases belonging to America in Arab countries and its proxy groups are also involved in these attacks.
