Baghdad The spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Major General Yahia Rasool, condemned the US air attack, which targeted a site on the Iraqi-Syrian border last night.
Rasool said in a statement, “We condemn the American air attack, which targeted a site on the Iraqi-Syrian border last night, and represents a blatant and unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty and Iraqi national security in accordance with all international conventions.”
He added that Iraq renews its refusal to be an arena for settling accounts and adheres to its right to sovereignty over its lands and to prevent its use as an arena for reactions and attacks.
Rasool called for calm and avoiding escalation in all its forms, stressing that Iraq will carry out the necessary investigations, procedures and communications at various levels to prevent such violations from occurring.
