ALBAWABA - State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Tuesday that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad earlier last week.
Over a phone call with the Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Secretary Blinken condemned a series of attacks on US personnel in Iraq and Syria in recent weeks, Miller said in a statement.
"The Secretary welcomed the Prime Minister’s strong condemnation of the recent attacks as 'acts of terrorism' as well as the Iraqi government’s pledge to investigate and hold perpetrators accountable," Miller said.
"The Secretary noted that the attacks are being carried out by militias who are acting with the support of Iran and undermining Iraq’s sovereignty and independence. They committed to remain in close contact over the coming days and weeks," Miller added.
The US Embassy in Baghdad was attacked on Friday, with at least two rockets falling in its vicinity, but no staff members were injured, Anadolu agency reported.
