Iraq calls on the UN Security Council to condemn the assassination of Soleimani and al-Muhandis

Baghdad, ST- Iraq called on the United Nations Security Council to condemn the US crime of  assassinating the commander of  al- Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, and the deputy commander  of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units, at dawn last Friday in Baghdad, so that “jungle law” does not prevail in international relations.

“The American raid is an attack on the people and government of Iraq and  it is a flagrant violation of the conditions that regulate the presence of American forces in Iraq, the region and the world,” the Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations, Muhammad Hussein Bahr al-Uloum, said in a message to the UN Security Council transmitted by Alsumaria News.

The ambassador added that his country asked the council to “carry out its responsibilities and ensure accountability for those who committed that crime which violates human rights and the international law”.
