Iraq says U.S.-British attack on Yemen "does not represent a solution" - foreign ministry

Iraq said on Friday it condemned the U.S.-British attack on Yemen which it said could expand the scope of the ongoing conflict.

"We believe that expanding the scope of targeting does not represent a solution, but rather leads to widening the war", the foreign ministry said in a statement, adding that it still stresses the need to preserve the freedom of navigation in international waters.
