(MENAFN) The Iraqi Foreign Ministry announced opposition of the American-British-French airstrikes on its neighbor Syria, launched in the early hours of Saturday morning, calling them "extremely dangerous."
"[We] express our concern about the airstrikes carried out by the US and its allies on Syria and consider these actions to be extremely dangerous due to their consequences for innocent civilians," the ministry said in a statement released on Facebook.
Only a political solution will help stabilize the situation in war-ravaged Syria, the ministry said.
The actions taken by the trio of world powers will only "give terrorism a new opportunity to expand" after it was defeated in Iraq and mostly overpowered in Syria.
