The United States conducted airstrikes on sites used by Iranian-backed militants in Iraq, which has led to a strong response from Iraqi officials. A senior Iraqi official described the strikes as a 'flagrant violation of Iraq's sovereignty' and stated that they 'do not help bring calm.' The Iraqi government has announced its intention to take legal measures in response to the US actions, specifically targeting the bombing of military sites as an aggression against Iraq's sovereignty. The Prime Minister's office has warned that the airstrikes could lead to 'irresponsible escalation' and violate the country's sovereignty. The Iraqi Parliament has also condemned the US invasion of Hashd al-Shaabi positions, with the head of the Parliament denouncing the blatant violation of sovereignty and international norms. Meanwhile, a US spokesperson defended the attacks as 'necessary and proportionate,' stating that the US does not seek to escalate conflict in the region. However, Iraq's stance is clear, with officials treating the operations as 'acts of aggression' and slamming the US for its actions against Kataib Hezbollah sites.
