Iraqi National Pleads Not Guilty in 18 Attacks in Europe

An Iraqi national accused of plotting at least 18 attacks across Europe pleaded not guilty, claiming he is a 'prisoner of war' retaliating against the U.S. and Israel. The defendant's rhetoric directly links his alleged crimes to the ongoing war with Iran, highlighting the international fallout of the conflict. This case underscores the global reach of the war and the potential for proxy violence to destabilize regions far from the Middle East.
