The Coordination Framework rejects use of Iraqi territory for attacks on Iran

The Coordination Framework announced, in a statement issued by its media office on January 15, 2026, its categorical rejection of the use of Iraqi territory as a launchpad for attacks against any country, particularly the Islamic Republic of Iran. It characterized such actions as a flagrant violation of Iraqi sovereignty and an attempt to drag the country into conflicts that serve neither its security nor the interests of its people.

The statement noted that the region cannot endure new military conflicts, especially given current economic challenges and falling oil prices, which would double the burden on the region's populations and threaten regional stability. It emphasized support for diplomatic and political solutions as the optimal path for addressing crises, preserving state sovereignty, and sparing the region's peoples the woes of war.

However, this repeated rejection raises sharp questions regarding its practical significance, at a time when forces monopolizing weaponry under the banner of "protecting sovereignty" are unable to prevent a single hostile aircraft from flying over Iraqi airspace. This reality transforms sovereignty into a mere slogan and the rejection into a rhetorical statement that changes nothing on the ground.

What is the value of rejection if the skies remain open and weaponry is incapable of enforcing sovereignty?
