Iraqi President condemns US violation of Iraqi sovereignty

Middle East (IP) - The Iraqi President Barham Salih condemned the US bombardment of several points in Iraq including the airport under construction in Karbala province and called it the violation of his country’s sovereignty.

Iran Press/Middle East: In a statement on Friday, March 13, Barham Salih called on the international community to support Iraq and respect for the country’s sovereignty and national decision.

He reiterated that the improvement of Iraq’s security is fulfilled through supporting Iraq in doing its duties and elevating its power to enforce law, protecting its sovereignty, and preventing its soil form turning to a battlefield of proxy wars.

He said the frequent violations along with the extensive and unprecedented political, economic, security, financial, and health challenges with which Iraq has been grappling with is dangerous. 

Salih warned that in case of the continuation of the risks, Iraq will lose government and lead to anarchism, particularly in a time that ISIS is trying to launch more terrorist attacks.

He called for national unity around the national project of having a country with sovereignty and independent decision and focusing on the complete victory over terrorism.
