Iraqi FM warns 'no war, no peace' stalemate with Iran is unsustainable
Source Summary
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein told FRANCE 24 that the current "no war and no peace" situation between the US and Iran in the region cannot continue indefinitely. Hussein stated that Iraq cannot comply with Washington's demand to close all but two border crossings with Iran. He also confirmed that Iraqi oil is now flowing through the Strait of Hormuz under US protection.
Why it matters
Iraq's position as a buffer state between US and Iranian interests makes its foreign minister's warning about the unsustainability of current tensions significant for regional stability and US-Iran relations.
