Official Iraqi stance warns of military escalation after Riyadh attack

Amid ongoing regional tensions, the Iraqi government officially condemned on Sunday the attack targeting King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, which resulted in human and material losses and widespread security repercussions. In a related context, the Spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Sabah Al-Nuaman, stated in an official press release that this assault directly undermines regional stability and general security, emphasizing Baghdad's categorical rejection of escalating military and aggressive operations, particularly those targeting innocent civilians and vital civil facilities. On the diplomatic front, official authorities demanded the complete cessation of all military operations, the protection of peoples and civilians from the negative impacts of these events, and the prevention of attacks on vital facilities in any form. The statement concluded by emphasizing the importance of adopting dialogue and understanding as a fundamental alternative to armed conflicts, while stressing the need to respect mutual interests, ensure the smooth flow of air navigation and freedom of movement, and support regional economic development.
