Iraq’s prime minister’s office stated Wednesday that Iran had notified Baghdad about a missile strike on American troops at two military bases.
“We received an official verbal message from the Islamic Republic of Iran that the Iranian response to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani had begun or would begin shortly, and that the strike would be limited to where the US military was located in Iraq without specifying the locations,” Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi’s office said in a statement, reported the AFP news agency.
