US Attack on Jurf Al-Nasr ‘Violation of Iraqi Sovereignty’: PM
News - Middle East: Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has slammed the United States’ latest attack on the Jurf al-Nasr area, reiterating his country’s commitment to safeguarding its borders and sovereignty against any aggression.
Sudani made the remarks in a phone call with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on Saturday, emphasizing that Baghdad considers as a "violation of Iraqi sovereignty" the US attack on paramilitary forces stationed in the area last month.
He also reiterated Iraq's unwavering commitment to protecting international coalition advisors currently stationed in the country, as he conveyed the Iraqi government’s staunch rejection of any attacks on its territory.
On November 22, US airstrikes killed eight members of the anti-terror resistance group Kata'ib Hezbollah in the Jurf al-Sakhar region.
