Iraq condemned on Tuesday U.S. airstrikes on Iraqi territory, calling them a ‘hostile act’ and a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty.
U.S. forces carried out the strikes Monday and targeted Iran-backed militias in Iraq in response to a drone attack earlier that day that injured three U.S. service members.
The U.S. strikes killed one member of its security forces, Iraq said Tuesday, and wounded 18 other people, including civilians, according to news reports.
The government called the U.S. strikes ‘an unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty,’ a government statement said. The statement also stressed that similar attacks by armed groups on U.S-led coalition advisers are hostile acts and violate Iraqi sovereignty, a position Kataib Hezbollah criticized.
