Iraqi Government Condemns US Saudi Strikes as 'Flagrant Violation' of Sovereignty The latest development in the Middle East – joint Saudi US strikes against Iran backed groups in Iraq – has sparked a full blown crisis over sovereignty.
The National Security Council's condemnation of the attacks, which killed at least 20 members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), as "a flagrant violation of Iraq's sovereignty and the sanctity of its lands" sends a clear message: Baghdad will not tolerate any compromise on its security and territorial integrity.
The council's statement echoes international law and the United Nations Charter, rebuking the US Saudi coalition's actions.
