White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby apologized for his “erroneous” statement that Washington informed Baghdad before carrying out air strikes in Iraq a few days ago.
Kirby previously told reporters on Friday that the United States informed Iraq before carrying out the strikes.
On Monday, the US State Department’s deputy spokesman, Vedant Patel, confirmed that the United States did not inform Iraq of the raids it launched on sites in Iraq before they occurred, “but after they occurred.”
An American base in Jordan was subjected to a Mubarak drone attack on January 28, which resulted in the death of 3 American soldiers and the wounding of more than 40 others.
On Friday, the United States responded with a series of treacherous air strikes on Popular Mobilization Forces sites in Iraq and military sites in Syria.
Since the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas, on October 7, the American army has been subjected to more than 160 attacks in Iraq, Syria and Jordan.
