UN General Assembly
2024

We are witnessing a brutal campaign of indiscriminate killing and the use of remote-controlled technology for bombings, with complete disregard for unarmed civilians—a dangerous precedent indicating the depth of the occupying power’s involvement in crimes against humanity. **Iraq, under its government and people, and under the guidance of the Supreme Religious Authority, stands in solidarity with Lebanon and its brotherly people**, as they face a new chapter of premeditated aggression aimed at plunging the region into further conflict. We had warned of this before and will continue to provide all possible assistance to overcome the consequences of these attacks. Our position is based on a long history of interconnectedness and a well-known Iraqi commitment that rejects aggression and occupation, and defends the right of peoples to their land, heritage, and sanctities. We repeatedly condemn any international support or justification of the aggressor’s actions.
