The Iraqi presidency has condemned US-Saudi strikes that targeted the Popular Mobilization Forces, an armed Iraqi alliance that includes powerful pro-Iran factions, AFP reports.
The presidency, which has not named the United States and Saudi Arabia, says it “denounces the bombing that targeted the Hashed al-Shaabi bases and it considers it an unacceptable attack and a blatant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty, targeting its official institutions”.
It also rejects the use of Iraqi territory to launch attacks on neighbouring countries.
