Pompeo had a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of Iraq

This is stated in a message published on the website of the State Department.

It is noted that Pompeo "focused on Iraq’s commitment to protect diplomats, military personnel and US facilities and coalitions."

They "discussed the protest movement and the urgency with which the new Iraqi government must put an end to the killings of protesters, seek justice for the dead and injured, and resolve issues related to their legitimate discontent."

The parties also agreed on "the importance of initiating reforms that will enable the government to better prepare the Iraqi people for a decent life, prosperity and security."

Earlier, Pompeo met with the new Sultan of Oman, Heysam bin Tarik al-Saeed.
