In a statement, it condemned the strikes as a “new aggression against Iraq’s sovereignty” and denied that they were coordinated by the Baghdad government beforehand with Washington, calling such assertions “lies”.
The presence of the U.S.-led military coalition in the region “has become a reason for threatening security and stability in Iraq and a justification for involving Iraq in regional and international conflicts”, the statement added.
You sure do talk a lot about this for someone who doesn’t understand the basics. The groups Iran backs in Iraq are there to prop up the current Iraqi regime since they’re afraid of another Sunni leader emerging if the current regime falls. They’re mainly worried about an Islamic State takeover, and Iraq accepts their presence.
Jordan has a dictator who lied and said the US base that got struck was in Syria instead of Jordan most likely to avoid backlash from the population about the presence of a US base in their borders.
This is a discussion about what the people who live there want, not what the government does, are we not on the same page here? The fact is the Iraqi PM is facing internal pressure to expel US forces and he is in the process of doing that.
I think it’s unfair to put the US and Iran on the same level here. Iran is in the Middle East. America isn’t. Claiming that “Iran said the US should stop bombing civillians” as if it’s something bad is simply outright stupid, and that is what my comment is trying to point out. The US has no business to bomb people half way across the globe.
A superpower that doesn’t project force around the globe isn’t a superpower. Love it or hate it, but America is the sole remaining superpower and as such, it can’t afford to stay out of affairs, including in the Middle East - and when it’s forces are attacked, it has no other option but to strike back. That’s the bare minimum. The moment it retreats out of world affairs, power vacuums emerge and the world becomes a much less stable place.
America should stop bombing the middle east and just leave.
Just what Iran said. Funny that.
And most of the people that live in those countries for the record.
Most outside of those countries too.
Sure that’s why the US is invited into middle east countries like Iraq and Jordan where they are attacked.by Iranian stooges from Syria.
Us is known for placing puppets as presidents to protect it’s interests.
we where so busy bombing we forgot to not do empire
Anyone the narrative disagrees with is the example, I suppose.
All they have to do is recend their invitations and tell the US to leave. But, they won’t do that because they don’t want to be under Iran’s heel.

I understand your agenda, but the fact remains true that they know how to uninvite the US and haven’t done so.

At least Iran is in the Middle East. America isn’t. America is in North America.
It’s brilliant insights like these that I come to this community for.

Oh, no, I totally get that. I’m just taking the piss at it.
