Baghdad-Sana
Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi stressed that any threat to Iraq’s security would be harmful to the countries of the region and the world.
In a sign that he received a message yesterday from the American side speaking about the withdrawal, and after hours it was said that it was a mistake, Abdul Mahdi explained in a speech to him during the cabinet session today quoted by Alsumaria News: “The assassinations have sparked a popular situation,” noting that “the House of Representatives voted and president The Ministers endorsed and recommended it. ”
Yesterday, Abdul-Mahdi, the American ambassador to Baghdad, Matthew Toller, informed of the necessity to implement the decision of the Iraqi parliament to leave the foreign forces out of Iraq.
The Iraqi Council of Representatives voted yesterday by an absolute majority on a resolution committing the Iraqi government to end the foreign presence in the country after the American crimes against Iraqi military headquarters and high-level Iraqi and friendly military leaders.
Iraq earlier today called on the UN Security Council to condemn the American crime by assassinating the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qassem Soleimani, and the deputy head of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Committee, at dawn last Friday in Baghdad, so that "jungle law" does not prevail in international relations.
