US Apologizes to Iraq for February Airstrikes on Its Territory

from Sputnik News

Washington has offered an apology to Baghdad for failing to warn it in advance about the airstrikes on Iraqi territory on February 2, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Mohammed Hussein told Sputnik.

"Indeed, Washington did not warn Iraq about the attacks on Iraqi security forces. A US official has offered us apologies in connection with that situation," Hussein said on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum.

In late January, three US soldiers were killed and over 40 others injured in a drone attack on a US military outpost in Jordan. Washington blamed allegedly Iran-backed militant groups for the attack and, on February 2, retaliated by striking targets in Iraq and Syria, which it believes were linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated militias. Both Baghdad and Damascus strongly condemned the attacks on their soil. 

White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby first said the US "did inform the Iraqi government prior to the strikes occurring." However, US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel admitted on February 6 that Washington had not warned Baghdad prior to the strikes. Kirby himself later said he had misspoken.

  1. No proper topic to put this under, should be maybe a permanent thread for "war porn" since we now have and accelerating fast the 2 war fronts going burning brighter by the day, the very ones GranMa Barker so openly bragged about being able to fund no problemo last mid-october, 9 days after oct7.

    Just out vid here lists the 6 supposed wunderwaffen now either deployed and used very recently 1st time (like the Zircon), or very near 1st field test.
    Again, promised in that 2.5 hour speech just days ago was to reply to the freaky french fried evil elf who said nato troops are on the way in

    Should be easy to pick them out in a crowd--they have a distinct gauche-droit-gauche-droit marching cadence.

    Here's the 5. Sarmat mentioned twice---there is only 1, it's the RS-28 Superheavyweight.
    at least 2 sound airy-fairy, because how to publicly demonstrate they have them and work?

    RS-28 Sarmat Satan-2 ICBM 11,000 km range, replaces RS-20;
