'No war and no peace' between the US and Iran 'cannot continue', Iraqi FM says
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein declared that the current 'no war and no peace' situation between the United States and Iran cannot continue, in an interview with FRANCE 24.
In an interview with FRANCE 24, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein expressed grave concerns about the deteriorating situation in the region. The current state of 'no war and no peace' between the US and Iran is untenable and requires resolution, he emphasized.
Hussein directly addressed Washington's demands, stating that closing all but two border crossings with Iran was 'not possible' given Iraq's economic and security needs. This position highlights Iraq's delicate balancing act between its powerful neighbors.
The Iraqi foreign minister also confirmed a significant development: Iraqi oil is now flowing through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz under US protection. This arrangement underscores the complex security arrangements in the region.
