00:00Ahmed, despite your condemnation of these attacks, is Iran not a threat to the wider Middle East region due to its enrichment of uranium and also the sponsorship of proxies in the region?
00:15Well, Iraq, definitely, definitely, it will be the ground for this war between Israel and Iraq. And just that's what I said before. It's the main fear of the Iraqi people is that it's not our war.
00:33But if the pro-Iranian militia will start to targeting Israeli bases and Israeli military forces or maybe Israeli cities and so on, then the action will be very hard for the Iraqis.
00:49And let us not forget something very important, Lian, is that a pro-Iranian militia will have inside and outside targets. Inside Iraq, that means maybe those pro-Iranian militia will attack American bases, will attack American places, or even American personals that are presented in the Iraqi soil.
01:12Maybe also it will expand to other embassies, to other diplomatic missions in Iraq and so on. So everyone has the same fear in Iraq. And also there's outside targets. That means not only Israel, maybe, maybe, just saying maybe that they, the Iraqi militia or the pro-Iranian Iraqi militia will also targeting bases in the Gulf countries and so on, because it's near Iraqi soil.
01:42So all those things, it can be escalated if the Iranian decided to retaliate with their proxies in the area.
