Baghdad on Tuesday denounced the American bombing that earlier targeted Iraqi military sites that Washington says include Iranian loyalists and is behind attacks on American bases in the region.
The Iraqi government denounced the American attack, describing it as a “hostile act” that targeted Iraqi military sites, and said it led to the death of a soldier and the injury of 18 others.
The Iraqi government considered that “what happened at dawn today, Tuesday, of targeting Iraqi military sites by the American side under the title of response, which led to the martyrdom of a member and the injury of 18 others, including civilians, is a clear and unconstructive hostile act, and does not serve the path of long-term common interests in the country.” “Extending security and stability.”
This came in a statement published by the media office of the Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudanivia the X platform.
The statement added, “This step harms bilateral relations between the two countries, and will complicate ways to reach understandings through joint dialogue to end the presence of… International coalition“And, above all, it represents an unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty.”
Attacks and injuries
The White House said – earlier Tuesday – that the US army targeted 3 facilities belonging to the Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq, in response to an attack on an international coalition military base in northern Iraq, which led to the injury of 3 American soldiers, one of whom was in serious condition.
