Iraq welcomes the ceasefire, stressing that it is a step towards enhancing stability in the region.
The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed, on Tuesday, the US initiative that led to a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel, stressing that it represents a positive development toward de-escalation and enhancing stability in the region.
In a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, the Foreign Ministry affirmed its continued commitment to peaceful and diplomatic solutions to regional crises, ensuring the security and safety of the region’s peoples and preventing the expansion of the conflict.
According to the statement, the ministry also “congratulated the State of Qatar on its diplomatic efforts and mediation endeavors, which contributed to reaching a ceasefire agreement, reflecting its role in supporting regional stability.”
She stressed the “need for full commitment to implementing the ceasefire, given its critical importance in calming the situation and creating a suitable environment for resuming dialogue and negotiations,” expressing her “hope that this step will constitute a genuine beginning toward a radical and sustainable resolution of the existing tensions through peaceful and diplomatic frameworks.”
A ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel entered into force earlier today, pursuant to a declaration by US President Donald Trump, which calls for a comprehensive and complete ceasefire that has been in place for 12 days.
