The Iraqi Ministry of Defense denied on Friday allegations by the Pentagon on “exchanging information” that preceded the American aggression on areas in Deir Ezzor near the Syrian-Iraqi border. 

Alsumaria News Network quoted the Iraqi defense Ministry  as saying  in a statement  on Friday  in response to statements by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin  “The Iraqi Defense Ministry is surprised by the statements of the US Secretary of Defense regarding the exchange of intelligence information with Iraq about the targeted sites in Syrian territory.” 

The Iraqi Ministry added, “While we deny that this has happened, we confirm that our cooperation with the international coalition forces is limited to the specific goal of forming this coalition, which is to fight the terrorist organization ISIS and its threat to Iraq in a manner that preserves Iraq’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”. 

Syria  strongly condemned  the American aggression against areas in Deir Ezzor near the Syrian-Iraqi border on Thursday evening and stressed that it constitutes a negative indication of the policies of the new American administration, which are supposed to adhere to international legitimacy.
