Al-Sudani warned that the US and Saudi aggression, which is a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and international law, will have consequences, Al-Masirah Network reported.

Al-Sudani stressed the Iraqi government's efforts and commitment to addressing cases through legal mechanisms and official institutions, away from escalating military tensions.

He added though that Iraq reserves all its legitimate rights under international law, especially Article 51 of the United Nations Charter regarding the defense of the security, sovereignty, and health of its people.

Al-Sudani emphasized that any attack on Iraq’s stability is unacceptable and one cannot remain silent about it.
