The Iraqi government has officially expressed solidarity with neighboring Iran amid escalating tensions involving the United States and Israel. Iraqi leaders and influential political and religious figures strongly condemned attacks against Iran and called for regional unity and diplomatic resistance against foreign aggression.
Iranian officials welcomed Iraq’s stance, praising the country’s leadership and people for standing alongside Tehran during the crisis. Reports indicated that Iran’s Supreme Leader expressed appreciation to Iraqi religious authorities and citizens for their support against what Tehran described as a joint US-Israeli campaign targeting the Islamic Republic.
The growing alliance between Baghdad and Tehran comes as the Middle East faces heightened instability following military strikes, regional confrontations, and increasing political pressure from Western powers. Iraq has repeatedly rejected the use of its territory and airspace for attacks against neighboring countries, emphasizing respect for sovereignty and regional stability.
Analysts say Iraq’s position reflects its deep political, religious, and economic ties with Iran, while also highlighting Baghdad’s difficult balancing act between Tehran and Washington. Despite maintaining relations with the US, Iraq continues to advocate dialogue, diplomacy, and de-escalation to prevent a wider regional conflict.
