Iraq has condemned in the strongest terms the US military’s airstrikes against dozens of sites in the country and neighbouring Syria used by anti-terror resistance groups as a “violation of the Iraqi sovereignty.”
“These airstrikes constitute a violation of Iraqi sovereignty,” General Yehya Rasool, a spokesman for Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani, said in a statement on Saturday.
He noted that the actions taken by Washington will have “disastrous consequences for the security and stability of Iraq and the region,” reports Press TV.
Earlier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said its military forces struck more than 85 targets in the two countries “with numerous aircraft to include long-range bombers flown from the United States”.
“The air strikes employed more than 125 precision munitions,” it added in a statement.
