UN mission says Iraq ‘should not pay price for external rivalries’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Nations mission in Iraq says the country should not be made to “pay the price” in the escalating conflict between Tehran and Washington.
Early Wednesday, Iran launched a volley of ballistic missiles at Iraqi bases where American and other foreign troops are based, in retaliation for a US drone strike last week that killed a top Iranian general.
The UN mission says in a statement that the latest strikes “again violate Iraqi sovereignty” and adds: “We call for urgent restraint and a resumption of dialogue. Iraq should not pay the price for external rivalries.”
