The US State Department confirmed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa al-Sudani’s visit to Washington was successful, while noting that Iran “does not respect” Iraq’s sovereignty.
“We find it particularly worrisome to resume attacks against U.S. individuals just hours after Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammad Shiaa al-Sudani completed a successful visit to Washington, so it seems clear that Iran does not respect Iraqi sovereignty,” ministry spokesman Matthew Miller said at a press conference.
“We have seen these attacks in the past, and we have made it clear that we will defend our interests, we will defend our people, and that remains the case,” Miller added.
US Central Command Centcom had announced that coalition forces had foiled a missile attack near the Ramilan base in Syria, and no U.S. personnel were injured.
Earlier, Reuters quoted two Iraqi security sources as saying that at least 5 rockets were fired from the Iraqi town of Zammar towards a US military base in northeast Syria on Sunday.
