Baghdad: The Baghdad Operations Command has officially denied a circulating telegram that alleged Syrian restaurant workers were planning to poison Iraqis in a coordinated effort.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the Operations Command released a statement addressing the claims, which had been widely shared on social media platforms and reported by some media agencies. The statement highlighted that the report, which purportedly suggested a directive from the Baghdad Operations Command about the alleged plot, was entirely false and unfounded. The Command emphasized that these reports are nothing more than rumors with no basis in fact.

The Baghdad Operations Command urged satellite channels and media outlets to ensure the accuracy of their reporting. They recommended that these entities seek information directly from the official sources within the Baghdad Operations Command to avoid spreading misinformation.
