Our government has worked tirelessly to shield Iraq from the consequences of this escalation, and we have succeeded in doing so in collaboration with our international partners. We need to intensify our efforts to halt the targeting of civilians and save the region from the perils of a war that spares no one. In such a conflict, there would be no winners. Only destruction and devastation. We reaffirm that Iraq will continue its efforts and coordinate with its friends and partners to de-escalate tensions and prevent the expansion of a conflict that threatens the security of the region and the world.

Our fighters were able to detonate a high-explosive explosive device on a Zionist D9 military bulldozer in Nour Shams camp, axis of the martyr Saif Abu Lebda roundabout, achieving direct hits.
