Mette Frederiksen are now warning danes against the situation in Iraq, and at the same time, the Danish prime minister, that the situation must be taken seriously.
It says Mette Frederiksen Friday afternoon at a news conference.
– First and foremost, it is a really, really serious situation. The most important message for me is that if you are Danish and are in the region, one must keep an eye with the foreign ministry’s Citizen service, because the situation can develop further, ” she says.
However, the prime minister can yet say what impact the attack can have for the Danish soldiers or ordinary citizens in the area.
– It is too early to say what will get of the consequences, says Mette Frederiksen at the press conference.
the foreign ministry’s Citizen service calls on the danes in Iran to stay away from demonstrations and riots in the country.
‘We advise against all travel to:
Ninawa, Anbar, Salah ad-Din, Kirkus and Diyala and Baghdad province except Baghdad city. To Baghdad city included the nine central districts,’ writes the Ministry of foreign affairs on their Facebook profile.
at the same time, there is made a temporary travel advice to Iraq, as advise against all travel to several parts of the country, as well as non-necessary travel to pretty much the rest of Iraq.
Friday’s attack has got iranian leaders to portend a ‘brutal revenge’. The country has introduced the national sørgeperiode from Friday to Monday over the attack, which claimed the lives of Soleimani life.
He was the commander of the Quds forces, a special unit of elite soldiers under the Iran’s revolutionary guard corps, which is the country’s security forces.
Prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, wants at the press conference on Friday not to relate to, whether it is positive, that the UNITED states has killed Qassem Soleimani, which was considered a very influential man in Iran.
Here is udenrigsordførernes reactions to the attack in Iraq:
– Overall, I’m most concerned about, for I can not see anything else than that when it comes to Iran, so it is only a political negotiated solution, that may be the way forward, says Martin Lidegaard, udenrigsordfører of The Radical to the TV2.
– the Situation is perhaps explosive, but I think it is good that the americans are acting as they do. Israel uses the same tactics to take the important people out. We must just pay tribute to denmark, says Søren Espersen, udenrigsordfører of the Danish people’s Party to DR.
– This action is neither well thought out or clever. It is an example of the president of the UNITED states is playing with fire and behaving like a cowboy, who believe that one can shoot themselves through the problems, says Karsten Hønge, udenrigsordfører from SF to DR.
– the Iranians are the cause of much instability in the area, and therefore they must be put in place. If the americans just left for Iran would just continue. It is no doubt that he was a mighty man, with a great many human lives on his conscience – not least the us, says Naser Khader, udenrigsordfører for The Conservatives to Jyllands-Posten.
the Americans have now – apparently without having a plan – started an even more hot-headed confrontation with the iranian regime, says Michael an entrepreneurial environment Jensen, udenrigsordfører for the Left, to the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten.
