The US said its forces have carried out strikes in Iraq on three facilities used by Iran-backed militia. The “proportionate” strikes targeted “Kataib Hezbollah militia group and other Iran-affiliated groups”, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said.
He said the precision strikes were “in direct response” to attacks against US and coalition allies in Iraq and Syria. But a senior Iraqi official said they were a “fla- grant violation of Iraq’s sovereignty”.
Iraq’s National Security Adviser Qassem al- Aaraji added that the US strikes did not help bring calm, reports the BBC.
