Iraqi Government Intensifies Diplomatic Efforts to Contain Regional Escalation and Protect National Sovereignty

The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued an official statement categorically confirming the Baghdad government's steadfast progression with its diplomatic initiatives aimed at mediating and bridging viewpoints between the United States and Iran. These proactive official steps stem directly from the core constants of independent Iraqi foreign policy, which strictly rejects the policy of axes and alignments. Furthermore, it emphasizes total commitment to the principle of mutual respect for state sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, and the robust protection of the entire region's security and stability.
