Images of Iraq’s ambassador to Jordan, Haider Al-Adari, and his wife with Lebanese artist Ragheb Alama sparked uproar in Iraq, with tweets accusing them of being unworthy of the Iraqi envoy.
The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement this afternoon suggesting that it will take the required procedures in reaction to the minister’s conduct.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it is monitoring what has been disseminated on social media, including photographs of the ambassador of the Republic of Iraq in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
The ministry informs the media and the public that it will take the required steps in this regard as soon as possible, in a manner that advances the values of Iraqi diplomacy, according to the statement.
Ragheb Alama, a Lebanese artist, thanked the Iraqi ambassador in a tweet, saying: Thank you from the bottom of my heart to His Excellency the Iraqi ambassador in Jordan, Mr. Haider Mansour Al-Adari, and his wife, Mrs. Maysam Al-Rubaie, for this generous, wonderful, and enjoyable hosting, as well as for this warm welcome and a good reception. #Ragheb Alama, I was happy to meet you in this place so close to my heart and so full of love and happiness.
Photos of the Iraqi ambassador with Ragheb Alama incite indignation, and Baghdad vows to take appropriate measures.
