Iraq’s Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, in an interview with Al Jazeera, said the current circumstances suggest the potential for a renewed war in the region.
Iraq has informed Iran that it welcomes friendship and an alliance, but rejects any interference in its internal affairs, Hussein told Al Jazeera.
He further said Washington has formally requested the closure of all border crossings with Iran, with the exception of two.
Iraqi oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have resumed following understandings reached with both Washington and Tehran, the minister added.
