TEHRAN, 30 January 2022, (TON): Iran’s Foreign Ministry “condemned a rocket attack against Baghdad airport that took place the previous day as an act that seeks to destabilize Iraq.”
Six rockets were fired at the Iraqi capital’s airport, causing damage to one runway and two civilian planes but no casualties. It was the latest in a string of attacks that the US blames on Iran-linked armed groups. The attack was not immediately claimed.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a statement “Iran condemns “the targeting of Baghdad airport” in an attack that aims to destabilize Iraq.”
He added “such suspicious actions have created insecurity and unrest in Iraq, paving the way for the ill-wishers and the insurgents, and affecting the government’s services to the Iraqi citizens.”
The rockets fell around civil installations at the airport, damaging an out-of-service Boeing 767 belonging to state-owned Iraqi Airways.
