Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed that the decision of war and peace rests exclusively with the state, warning that the government will not stand idly by against attacks targeting its institutions and the country's higher interests.
This statement came during al-Sudani's field visit to the National Intelligence Service headquarters in Baghdad to assess a recent attack that killed an agency member. Al-Sudani described the perpetrators as a "cowardly group," emphasizing that such actions are not justified
by any doctrine and represent a blatant violation of state institutions.
The Prime Minister directed security agencies to continue thorough investigations to identify the culprits and bring them to justice, urging political forces to take a firm and clear stance against threats to Iraq's stability.

classified these attacks as terrorist acts under anti-terrorism laws, as they undermine the country's diplomatic standing.
