'They are not going to solve their problem on Iraqi soil'

Iraq could be pushed into conflict by tit-for-tat attacks on its territory by Iranian-backed militias and US forces, Iraqi foreign minister, Dr Fuad Hussein, has told the BBC.

"The tension nowadays between Iran and the United States is very high," he said.

"I hope both sides will stop their attacks. They are not going to solve their problem on Iraqi soil," he said. "We paid a very big price."
