She argued that President Biden was confident they were a “necessary” and “appropriate” response to threats to U.S. personnel there. Psaki described Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi as a “partner” who “has a tough job,” and noted that his statement had called for “a de-escalation from all sides – and we agree with that.”
