Iraq says against expansion of war towards Iran and use of Iraqi airspace

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein says Baghdad is against a regional war spreading to Iran, ahead of Israel's expected retaliation for the Islamic republic's recent missile attack. "The continuation of the war and its expansion towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and (Israel's) exploitation of Iraqi airspace as a corridor is completely unacceptable and rejected," he says during a press conference with his Iranian counterpart in the Iraqi capital.
