INA-  Baghdad


Major General Yehia Rasool, Spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, said in an official statement obtained by the Iraqi News Agency INA that “In a clear determination to harm security and stability in Iraq, the United States has resumed carrying out airstrikes against the locations of Iraqi military units from the army and the Popular Mobilization Forces, in the areas of Jurf Al-Nasr and Al-Qaim.”
 
Major General Rasool signalized that “While positive steps have been taken to reshape the future relationship and missions of the Coalition members and advisors in Iraq, the recent actions are hindering this progress, undermining agreements and various sectors of joint security cooperation.”
 
He asserted, “This unacceptable act undermines years of cooperation, blatantly violates Iraq's sovereignty, and contributes to an irresponsible escalation. It occurs at a time when the region is already grappling with the danger of expanding conflict, the repercussions of the aggression on Gaza, and the consequences of the immoral war of extermination faced by the Palestinian people.”
 
“While the major powers, including the United States, remained silent regarding these crimes, we see the United States sliding into condemnable and unjustified aggressive actions against Iraqi territory and national sovereignty,” Rasool went on.
 
Major General Rasool further said that “We call on the international community to fulfill its responsibility in supporting peace and security, preventing all violations threatening Iraq's stability and sovereignty. We will treat these operations as acts of aggression and take necessary actions to preserve the lives and dignity of Iraqis on their land that became safe and stable due to the sacrifices of our people.”
 
He concluded saying, “God's Mercy and honor to those who became a martyr as a result of this attack, and a speedy recovery to the wounded.”
