Steinmeier, speaking to the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, called on Turkey, the Gulf Arab states and Iran to do their part to stabilise Iraq. "We have to prevent a proxy war of the regional powers breaking out on Iraqi soil," he said. He ruled out German military involvement in the conflict and criticised the Iraqi government for failing to integrate the country's rival regional, ethnic and religious groups.
