Follow iraqs National Security council has condemned american airstrikes on a powerful shia group and has warned it will rethink its relationship with the u. S. Led Coalition Fighting eisel american warplanes hit 3 cut type hezbollah camps in iraq and 2 in syria killing at least 27 fighters and injuring 51 the group is allied with iran and has vowed revenge. And all that if we are warning the United States as we warned before that there are legal presence means they are standing against the iraqi people and the iraqi people have the right to confront them with all types of resistance. Iraqs Prime Minister has called the attacks a breach of sovereignty while iran says its terrorism. Is part of the Popular Mobilization forces along with the iraqi army help to defeat us so that the u. S. Has the strikes were a decisive response to threats by rainy and backed forces against american personnel suman of course. And unprecedented confrontation between the u. S. And iran on iraqi soil for the 1st time u. S. Airstrikes targeting bases of an iranian backed armed group killing and injuring dozens the operation in response to a series of rockets that struck military bases where u. S. Personnel are stationed a u. S. Contractor was killed in the most recent attack in care cook what we did was take a decisive response that makes clear what President Trump has said for months and months and months which is that we will not stand for the garage to take actions to put american men and women in jeopardy that type hezbollah is part of the Popular Mobilization forces a Paramilitary Group set up to fight eisel its integrated into iraqs armed forces though the u. S. Has accused some factions in the pm of taking orders from to hand rather than. Until recently if the us and the pm are fought side by side against isiah following territorial defeat 2 years ago the u. S. Retained around 5000 troops in country to support Iraqi Security forces as they search for isis sleeper cells hiding in deserts one of those clearing operations coincided with the u. S. Mission against the type that i know as an air base here in western Anbar Province is an important launching pad for operations against beisel but recent rocket attacks against bases where u. S. Personnel are stationed including i know last an air base in early december could hamper operations raising fears of a proxy war between the u. S. And iran on iraqi soil. In an unusual announcement following the i know acid attack the u. S. Publicly blamed the type hezbollah the Iraqi Government hasnt attribute it blame but has tightened security. The very inclusive purity measures were. Cooperation with Coalition Forces there are surveillance patrols and additional troops to secure the outer perimeter of a search to protect the base investigations are continuing on to know but its not completed. Promises of investigations have done little to reassure the u. S. None of the governments probes into any of the previous rocket attacks have been published the analysts say the details are well known and. I think that iraqi joint Operation Command in iraq intelligence as many details about the people who attacked the k one basing cook Iraqi Government was confused because the pressure of khateeb his blood is deeply entrenched in the Iraqi Parliament and the Iraqi Government and thats why they decided to keep in line with iran and the iranian political parties. The Iraqi Government divided and weekend after 3 months of protests demanding sweeping political change has called on all sides to seize any unilateral actions neither us nor the pm appear to be listening both have vowed to take action setting the stage for further escalation seem awful to an aljazeera but that it is on those in washington d. C. So the iraqi National Security council says its going to rethink the relationship with the u. S. Led coalition u. S. Response to the. Well u. S. Officials are hoping that thats certainly not the case they stress that this was not an attack on iraq in any way shape or form or not meant to be that they say that this is very specifically a response to armed groups backed by iran that are operating inside iraq that the americans say are a threat to american citizens there merican officials both in the state department and the white house speaking on background on monday said that very recently theyve counted as many as 11 separate rocket attacks coming from iranian backed armed forces inside iraq against Iraqi Military facilities where American Contractors or American Service members are working from putting american lives at risk the americans say that they have told the iraqi officials that they must stop these rocket attacks and americans say simply the President Trump it showed a lot of patience in their words and it eventually the pentagon decided to do something about this and said that the americans were invited to iraq by the iraqis and that the americans said that they these attacks were meant to send a signal directly to iran. Not to put american lives at risk in iraq that this certainly does call up into question the issues of iraqi sovereignty there are reports out of iraq that the u. S. Officials informed their iraqi counterparts in advance of these attacks that the iraqi officials said please do halt this or delay these attacks but that the pentagon failed to do that and continued with them anyway so certainly a lot of issues about the iraqi sovereignty here but the officiers visuals from the u. S. Are saying that they see this as a defensive move that they hope deescalate the situation by sending a message to iran theres talk of new u. S. Sanctions against iran the anything that. There is the state Department Officials said that they are considering new sanctions that could go into effect or be announced any way within the next coming days wont get any any more specifics other than that but it wont be surprising because since 2017 just the last 2 and a half years or so the u. S. Has leveled between 801000 different sanctions against various entities in iran an incredible number there are so many sanctions that you can barely keep track of them all the latest one from the u. S. Against was against iranian. Judge just less than 2 weeks ago so its certainly something that the u. S. Is looking at sanctions are a critical part of the white houses socalled Aggressive Campaign against iran and the government there but quite frankly theres not much left for the americans to sanction theyve already sanctioned the Republican Guard top government officials including their family members and a whole host of other things as well but certainly washington is considering even more sanctions in the coming days gave us under thank you very much.
