US-led coalition threatens to entangle Iraq in the cycle of conflict, says Baghdad

Yehia Rasool, a spokesman for the Iraqi prime minister said “This path pushes the Iraqi government more than ever before to end the coalition’s mission which has become a factor of instability for Iraq,”.

Rasool said in a statement that the U.S.-led coalition “has become a factor for instability and threatens to entangle Iraq in the cycle of conflict.”

Since the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza began in October, Iraq and Syria have witnessed almost daily tit-for-tat attacks between hardline Iran-backed armed groups and U.S. forces stationed in the region.
