Syria has reportedly made direct contact with senior Iraqi officials to deliver a warning, according to a report circulating early Sunday. The content of the warning was not disclosed.
The move comes amid heightened regional tensions. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the Syrian army deployed forces along the border with Iraq, fearing an invasion by Iranian-backed Shiite militias, and warned Baghdad that any attack from Iraqi territory would draw a response. The U.S. Embassy in Iraq also issued an emergency alert urging vigilance.
The direct diplomatic outreach signals a deepening of the bilateral crisis, with Syria bypassing formal channels to deliver its message. The specific warning has not been confirmed by independent sources.
