Hisham al-Rikabi, the media adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, said Thursday that the strikes of the United States forces against facilities in the Iraqi territory are a violation of international law and called the US military measures a "dangerous escalation."
"Arguments and explanations of the Americans are unjustified and unacceptable because what they are doing is a clear encroachment on the Iraqi sovereignty and a violation and retaliation beyond international law, even at the level of understanding and relations between sovereign countries," al-Rikabi said in an interview with the Arab World Press news agency.
He added that any military actions of the US are a "serious escalation" and damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
