According to CoinMeta, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hussein stated in a media interview that the current situation indicates that war may erupt again in the Middle East region. He pointed out that Iraq has lost approximately $60 billion due to the halt in oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and has resumed oil exports via this route after reaching agreements with the United States and Iran. Hussein mentioned that the United States has officially requested the closure of all border crossings between Iraq and Iran, except for two ports. Iraq has also informed Iran of its willingness to develop friendly relations, but rejects any interference in Iraq's affairs. There are signs that external forces are using Iraqi territory to attack neighboring countries.
