The head of the committee, Salam Al-Shammari, said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) .

He added that "an official announcement in northern Syria that the water level of the Euphrates River has decreased by more than 5 meters, for the first time in its history, is a dangerous matter and portends the same thing in Iraq." Using it as a pressure card to implement its goals. "
