US attacks causing reckless escalation says spokesman for Iraqi PM

Baghdad – US strikes which targeted sites used by Iranian-backed groups in Iraq early Wednesday are “contributing to a reckless escalation”, a spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohamed Shia Al-Sudani said.

“This unacceptable act undermines years of cooperation, blatantly violates Iraq’s sovereignty and contributes to a reckless escalation… at a time when the region is already grappling with the danger of expanding conflict,” said Al-Sudani’s spokesman for military affairs Yehia Rasool.
