Tehran, April 1, IRNA – The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday that the military moves of the US in Iraq are against the announced request of Iraqi Government, parliament and people and can move the region toward instability and disastrous conditions.

Abbas Mousavi said that the US is making the moves while the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the international community have demanded any belligerent and tension-creating measures be stopped due to the outbreak of the COVID-19.

Urging the US not to make any tension-creating moves, Mousavi wanted the US to respect the will of the Iraqi Government and people and leave the country.
