Al-Sadr: I refuse to plunge Iraq into a dangerous regional war

Baghdad - INA  

The leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, expressed his refusal to plunge Iraq into a dangerous regional war.

Al-Sadr said in a tweet to him, which was followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "After the escalating violence in Iraq by armed terrorist parties against the interests of the people and political blocs, some outlaw terrorists rushed to plunge Iraq into a dangerous regional war by targeting a Gulf state under the pretext (normalization) or under the pretext of the war in Yemen or the like.

He added, "I categorically reject Iraq's involvement in such conflicts, and I add my voice to those who demand an end to the war against Yemen, and I join my voice to stop normalization with the Zionist enemy," noting that "this is not through violence and fighting, but rather through dialogue and understanding with regional countries, and not by exposing the sanctities in Iraq and its people are in danger, as Iraq needs peace, prestige, and not subordination to outside orders."

He continued, "It is important that Iraq not be a launching pad for aggression against neighboring countries and regional countries," noting that "the government must deal with the perpetrators seriously and firmly, otherwise it will be remiss, and its silence may cause unimaginable consequences."
