        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.

          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.

            You sure do talk a lot about this for someone who doesn’t understand the basics.

                  You want to make it that discussion I understand, but that’s not what it was. Address someone else if that’s what you want to talk about. The fact is that the US was invited into these countries and Iran wasn’t
