Iraq warns against escalation after attacks on US military bases
|
[ALMASDARNEWS] In the wake of a series of attacks on US military bases in Iraq that prompted Washington to blame Iran, Baghdad has warned against "an escalation."
On Friday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed in a statement that Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
was providing "lethal aid and support to third parties in Iraq and throughout the region."
The White House, however, has offered no evidence to support its charge against Tehran.
According to a statement from the office of Iraq’s prime minister, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper on Monday "expressed his concern" over the strikes in a telephone call with outgoing Prime Minister Adel Abdel-Mahdi.
In response, the Iraqi premier "called on everyone to spare no effort to prevent an escalation that will threaten all parties," the statement added.
"Unilateral decisions will trigger negative reactions that will make it more difficult to control the situation and will threaten Iraq’s security, illusory sovereignty and independence," Abdel-Mahdi said.
"If the Iraqi government or state weakens, this will exacerbate escalation and chaos," Abdel Mahdi told Esper.
Two Katyusha rockets targeted a compound near the Baghdad International Airport, which houses US troops, on Thursday. It was the 10th such assault since late October.
Another attack on December 9 on the same base maimed five members of Iraqi counterterrorism forces.
The United States has recently reinforced its security at the embassy in Baghdad, according to an Iraqi security source, who said "a convoy of 15 American vehicles each transporting armored trucks and weapons entered the Green Zone."
