Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein warned in an interview that despite localized ceasefires, the likelihood of a resumption in US-Iran military confrontation is steadily rising. He cautioned that if pro-Iraqi armed groups become involved, Iraq could face severe consequences. He pointed out that the war has never truly ended, and the political movements of the US and Israel indicate that military operations could restart. Neither Iraqi security forces nor society are prepared for war, and if a new conflict erupts, the US military would not hesitate to target Iraq.
