Yesterday, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the ambassadors of the United States and Britain to Baghdad, after the raids that targeted sites for the Popular Mobilization and the Iraqi army in Babil Province. For its part, the Iraqi presidency condemned the "foreign bombing", which targeted sites inside Iraqi territory, considering that this matter constitutes a violation of Iraqi national sovereignty.

In detail, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry announced yesterday that it had summoned the American and British ambassadors, in the wake of bloody air strikes at night, targeting military installations in the country.

The strikes carried out by American warplanes came in response to a missile attack, Wednesday, which killed a British soldier and two American soldiers.

A spokesman for the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said that the Iraqi Foreign Minister summoned the ambassadors of the United States and Britain in Baghdad, due to the air strikes launched by the United States on Iraqi military sites, the night before last.

The spokesman said, in a statement: “The foreign minister held an emergency meeting, which was attended by the ministry’s undersecretaries and advisers, and the official spokesperson, and measures were discussed regarding the recent US attack. He was directed to summon the ambassadors of the United States and Britain to Baghdad.

For its part, the Presidency of the Republic in Iraq condemned yesterday the foreign bombing that targeted several locations inside Iraqi territory, and led to the killing and wounding of members of the Iraqi security forces and civilians. In a statement, the Iraqi presidency described the bombing as a violation of sovereignty.

The presidency stressed that addressing the security situation comes by supporting the Iraqi government, to carry out its duties and enhance its capabilities and will, to enforce the law and protect sovereignty, and prevent the transformation of its territories into a proxy war zone.

The statement pointed out that the continuous violations that the state is exposed to are a systematic and dangerous weakening of its capabilities and prestige, in conjunction with a stage in which Iraq faces grave and unprecedented challenges politically, economically, financially, security and health.

The presidential statement warned: These risks, if they continue, would slide Iraq into a state of anarchy and chaos, especially if the security escalation continues, with indications available about the terrorist (ISIS) elements attempting to restore their ability to threaten the security of the homeland and the citizen.

In turn, the Iraqi army yesterday condemned the American air strikes that occurred during the night, and said that they had killed six people and wounded 12, describing it as a "blatant attack" and a "violation of sovereignty."

For his part, the first deputy speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Hassan Al-Kaabi, stated yesterday that there is no legitimacy for the presence of foreign forces inside Iraqi territory, after the decision of the Iraqi parliament.

Al-Kaabi called, in a press statement, "the government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take immediate action to condemn the American bombing internationally, and to start ending the presence of the occupier, and that the American bombing of military and civilian headquarters is an unjustified response, and indicates a prior intention to violate Iraqi sovereignty."

The Iraqi army announced that the American strikes targeted pro-Iranian military factions in Iraq. He said, in a statement, that among the dead were three soldiers, two employees of the emergency regiment and a civilian, adding that 12 Iraqi fighters were wounded, some of them seriously.

The civilian is a chef who works at an airport near Karbala, and is still under construction, while another civilian was injured.

Yesterday, the Joint Operations Command in Iraq announced the death of five fighters and one civilian, and the injury of 12 others in an initial toll as a result of the American bombing of Iraqi military headquarters.

The statement described the American bombing as a blatant attack, saying: "Iraq was under the attack of American fighter planes, targeting the Iraqi army, police and popular crowds in Babil Governorate, south of Baghdad."

The statement pointed to the complete destruction of infrastructure, equipment and weapons in all headquarters that were targeted by US aircraft.

The leadership expressed its "strong condemnation of this attack, which targeted the Iraqi military, which violates the principle of partnership and alliance between the Iraqi security forces, and those who planned and carried out this treacherous attack, which caused the death and wounding of the Iraqi fighters, while they are in their military duties, each according to a categorical the responsibility".

For his part, the media official at the airport, Ghazwan Al-Issawi, confirmed, in press statements, the death of the civilian, who works as a chef, adding that the airport suffered material damage.

Al-Issawi said that "five rockets fell on the administrative building at the airport, which resulted in material damage and the destruction of 18 cars."

The strikes began at approximately 1 am on Friday, targeting, according to the Pentagon, five weapons storage sites for the Popular Mobilization Forces, including facilities containing weapons used in previous attacks on international coalition forces against ISIS, led by Washington.

The strikes came in response to a missile attack on a military base, on Wednesday evening, which resulted in three deaths, two American soldiers and a British female soldier.

And the attack, which occurred on Wednesday, is the 22nd attack on US installations in Iraq, but the bloodiest.

And American diplomatic offices were attacked, as well as the bases where there are 5,200 American soldiers in Iraq.

For his part, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Rapp considered Friday that the American strikes were a "symmetrical" response to the killing of Americans and Britain, in a missile attack on Taji Air Force Base, on Wednesday.
