News

Here is the English translation:


The Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Mr. Mohammed Shia’ Al-Sudani, conducted a visit to the headquarters of the National Intelligence Service in the capital, Baghdad. He was received by the head of the agency, along with a number of senior officials and staff members.

His Excellency was briefed on-site on the details of the treacherous attack that targeted the agency’s headquarters yesterday, which resulted in the martyrdom of one of its heroic personnel. He directed the relevant authorities within the agency, in cooperation with other security bodies, to continue a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the attack, uncover the results, and announce to the Iraqi people the party responsible for this disgraceful terrorist act, without hesitation in exposing them and bringing them to justice.

The Prime Minister also held a meeting with the head of the agency, senior staff, and officials, during which he listened to a comprehensive security briefing that included intelligence and field data within the framework of assigned duties and responsibilities.

During the visit, Mr. Al-Sudani delivered an important statement addressing the leadership and personnel of the National Intelligence Service, as well as other security and military agencies, and the Iraqi people. أبرز ما جاء فيه:

  • Those who committed this treacherous crime are a cowardly group that has violated Iraqi blood and overstepped state institutions.
  • Whoever dares to shed Iraqi blood does not represent Iraq, and no ideology can justify this crime. If there is any ideology behind it, it is undoubtedly distorted and destructive.
  • The government acts with wisdom and responsibility, but it will not stand idle in the face of crimes that violate Iraqi blood and undermine the country’s supreme interests.
  • National political forces must assume their responsibilities and take a clear and explicit stance regarding these attacks that target the state and its institutions and risk the country’s future.
  • There are those who have presumed the right to decide matters of war and peace; however, we affirm that this decision belongs solely to the state, which determines and safeguards Iraq’s interests.
