US strikes leading to ‘reckless escalation’: Iraq PM spokesman

Published by

US strikes which targeted sites used by Iranian-backed groups in Iraq early Wednesday are “contributing to a reckless escalation”, a spokesman for Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani said.

“This unacceptable act undermines years of cooperation, blatantly violates Iraq’s sovereignty and contributes to a reckless escalation… at a time when the region is already grappling with the danger of expanding conflict,” said Sudani’s spokesman for military affairs Yehia Rasool.
