Iraq Denies Iran Launched Missiles From Its Territory

Recent reports from Israel claimed that some of Iran's missiles were launched from Iraq on Saturday. However, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has denied these allegations, stating that there is no evidence to support such claims.

In an interview on Tuesday, al-Sudani emphasized that the Iraqi military reports they received did not confirm any missile or drone launches from Iraq. He reiterated Iraq's stance of not allowing any non-governmental entities to use its territory for military activities.

During his visit to Washington, D.C., al-Sudani met with US President Joe Biden to discuss the importance of de-escalating tensions in the Middle East. Both leaders emphasized the need for peace and stability in the region.

Al-Sudani's statement comes amidst heightened tensions in the Middle East, with concerns over potential conflicts involving Iran and its neighboring countries. The denial of missile launches from Iraq underscores Iraq's commitment to maintaining its neutrality and avoiding being dragged into regional conflicts.
