Iraqi President and former prime minister condemn Iranian attack

Iraqi President Barham Salih has condemned Iran's attack on military bases in Iraq, describing it as a "dangerous development."

"We denounce the Iranian missile bombing that hit military installations on Iraqi territory and renew our rejection of the repeated violation of state sovereignty and the transformation of Iraq into a battlefield for warring sides," his office said in a statement.

Former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi also condemned the attack in a statement on Facebook.

"We previously condemned the American violations of Iraqi sovereignty, and today we condemn the Iranian violation of Iraqi sovereignty," he said.

"We are not enemies of anyone, and we request friendship and cooperation with all countries of the world on the basis of common interests.

"We affirm our rejection of any international conflicts or settlement of international accounts at the expense of Iraqi blood, land, and sovereignty...we call for national unity and solidarity, and to make the interests of Iraq and the safety of its people a red line in our policies."
