Briefing: Iraq must not be drawn into 'escalation' of Middle East war, Macron says

In light of a recent deadly strike targeting the Popular Mobilisation Forces in northern Iraq, President Macron has stressed the need to prevent Iraq from being drawn into the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Macron's statement highlights the critical infrastructure implications for Iraq, which could face destabilization if further escalations occur.

The call for action to avoid escalation reflects a broader concern about the operational capacity and security architecture in the region.
