Iraqi PM says no justification for attacks on US embassy in Baghdad

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani called on security forces on Friday to pursue those behind an attack on the US embassy, saying there was no justification for it.

Undermining Iraq’s stability, internal security and political reputation are “acts of terrorism,” he added in a statement.

Salvoes of rockets were launched Friday at the US embassy in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, the mission said, the latest in a flurry of such attacks amid the Israel-Hamas war.
