Iraq summons US envoy over ‘violation of sovereignty’: ministry
BAGHDAD, Jan 5, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The Iraqi foreign ministry on Sunday summoned US ambassador Matthew Tueller to condemn American strikes on Iraq that killed a top Iranian general, an Iraqi commander and other local fighters.
“They were a blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty,” the ministry said in a statement, and “contradict the agreed-upon missions of the international coalition.”
