The spokesman for the Commander in Chief, Major General Yahya Rasoul, confirmed today, Monday, that the US attack on the border is a flagrant violation of Iraqi sovereignty.

Rasoul said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): We condemn the US air strikes, which targeted a site on the Iraqi-Syrian border last night, affirming that it was a massive and unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty and Iraqi national security in accordance with all international conventions.

Iraq renews its refusal to be a battleground for settling scores, adheres its right to sovereignty over its lands, and to prevent its use as an arena for reactions and attacks, Rasoul added.

The spokesman for the Commander in Chief called for "calm down and avoiding escalation in all its forms, stressing that Iraq will carry out the necessary investigations, procedures and communications at various levels to prevent such violations.
