Iraqi Foreign Minister said Sunday that the war between Iran and the United States is still ongoing, despite the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran. The statement, reported by an Israeli-monitored source, echoes warnings from other Iranian and regional figures that the MoU does not mark a genuine end to hostilities.
Iraq's foreign minister stated Sunday that the war between the United States and Iran is still being waged, despite the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two countries. The statement, relayed via an Israeli-monitored source, aligns with a series of statements by Iranian officials and analysts over the past weeks that the MoU, signed in mid-June, does not constitute a true end to the conflict.
As The Zioneer reported last week, an Iranian analyst claimed Iran remains in a 'state of war' and that the recent understandings are 'not real peace.' Earlier, Tehran's mayor described the conflict with the US as a 'war of existence' that was not finished with the MoU. The Iraqi foreign minister's comment adds a regional diplomatic voice to this skepticism, suggesting that the administration in Baghdad also perceives the Washington-Tehran accord as an incomplete resolution.
The Iraqi official did not specify the nature of the ongoing 'war'—whether active combat, proxy actions, or political-economic confrontation—nor did he clarify whether Iraq itself remains a party or a theater in the conflict. No details are available on the timing or venue of the statement.
