Iraq condemned on Friday the rocket and drone attacks against Kuwait earlier this week. Kuwait blamed Iran for the attack, saying it was a dangerous escalation and violation of its sovereignty and security. The Iraqi Foreign Ministry underscored Iraq’s “rejection of all acts that threaten the security and stability of countries in the region.” In a statement, it urged the need for restraint and avert escalation in the region, calling for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve crises. Iraq supports all international and regional efforts aimed at preventing the circle of violence from expanding, it added. It also backs efforts to reach peaceful solutions that preserve the security and stability of the peoples of the region. Iraq did not pin blame on Iran. Kuwait condemned “the Iranian attacks” that targeted its territories, saying they were a “direct threat to civilians and vital installations.” The US military on Thursday accused Iran of violating the fragile ceasefire in the region following the attack.
