Irresponsible actions of US forces in Iraq hinder the initiation of bilateral dialogue: Maj Gen Rasool

Major General Yehia Rasool, the Spokesperson for the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces said in an official statement obtained by the Iraqi News Agency INA that “American forces has repeated irresponsibly all the actions that would undermine the established understandings and hinder the initiation of bilateral dialogue. It conducted a blatant assassination through an airstrike in the heart of a residential neighborhood in the capital, Baghdad, showing no regard for civilian lives or international laws.”

Major General Rasool further said “By this act, the American forces jeopardize civil peace, violate Iraqi sovereignty, and disregard the safety and lives of our citizens. Even more concerning is that the coalition consistently deviates from the reasons and objectives for its presence on our territory.”

Rasool also signalized that “This trajectory compels the Iraqi government more than ever to terminate the mission of this coalition, which has become a factor for instability and threatens to entangle Iraq in the cycle of conflict, and our armed forces cannot neglect their constitutional duties and responsibilities, which demand safeguarding the security of Iraqis and the land of Iraq from all threats.”

Rasool concluded his statement saying that “God’s mercy and honor to the martyrs of this attack and to all martyrs of Iraq.”
