A series of US strikes on sites used by Iranian-backed militants in Iraq, including the Hashd Al Shaabi headquarters, has drawn sharp criticism from Iraqi officials. The actions have been condemned as a violation of Iraq's sovereignty and a move that does not contribute to regional stability. A senior Iraqi official stated that the strikes do not help bring calm, while the Iraqi Prime Minister's office described them as leading to an 'irresponsible escalation' and confirmed that Iraq will take legal measures in response. The Iraqi government is asserting that the strikes are an abuse of the security agreement between Washington and Baghdad and has announced its intention to respond legally to what it views as aggression.
