The head of the National Wisdom Movement, Sayyed Ammar Al-Hakim, emphasized on Friday the critical importance of prioritizing national security and setting aside internal disputes in favor of unity and stability.
 
Delivering a speech in Holy Najaf on the occasion of Iraqi Martyr’s Day, Sayyed Al-Hakim, whose remarks were reported by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), stated: “The region is witnessing profound and rapid transformations that demand heightened vigilance and readiness from Iraqis to address any potential threats to the nation’s security and its political, social, and economic stability.”
 
He further highlighted the impact of ongoing tensions in the region, saying: “The repeated aggressions by the Zionist entity against Lebanon and Gaza, along with its infringements on the sovereignty of neighboring states, have significantly contributed to the current state of instability across the region.”
 
Sayyed Al-Hakim warned that “any disruption or shift in the regional balance of power is likely to exacerbate the challenges faced by Iraq, given its central and pivotal role as the heart of the region.”
 
He urged Iraq to take an active role as a unifying force, stating: “Iraq must act as a compassionate brother, fostering unity across the region, healing divisions, and countering attempts to undermine the stability and security of its peoples. This requires a strategic and informed foreign policy that carefully considers the evolving dynamics and circumstances of the region.”
