Washington said on Wednesday it had provided Iraq’s army with dozens of armoured vehicles to secure the Green Zone before the first anniversary of the killing of Iranian general Qassem Suleimani.
The area, located within Iraq’s capital Baghdad, is where the US and several other western countries’ embassies and government buildings are positioned. It is relatively well known as a safe zone but has been the target of continuous rocket attacks during the last year.
“We are committed to assist the Iraqi army in maintaining the country’s security. To achieve this goal, the United States provided the Iraqi army with 30 armoured cars to help secure the international zone,” the US embassy in Baghdad said in a statement published on Facebook.
