Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul accused the US military of "invading" the US embassy in Iraq and called on citizens to leave the country

On January 3, local time, Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi condemned the "assassination" of Iranian commander Sulaimani and Iraqi paramilitary organization commander Muhandis in the air strikes in Baghdad. On the same day, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad issued a warning urging U.S. citizens in Iraq to "leave Iraq immediately."

Reuters reported that Abdul Mahdi said in a statement that the US airstrikes on baghdad airports are an act of aggression against Iraq, a violation of Iraq's sovereignty, and will lead to war in Iraq, the region and even the world.

He noted that the attack also violated the conditions of the United States military presence in Iraq, namely that it should not violate legislation guaranteeing Iraq's security and sovereignty. Abdul-Mahdi also called for a special session of parliament.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Jan. 3 urged U.S. citizens in Iraq to "leave Iraq immediately," agencies reported.

The U.S. Embassy said in a statement that "U.S. citizens should depart by air whenever possible, and if they cannot, they should travel overland to other countries." ”

In the early morning of January 3, local time, the US armed forces attacked near the airport in Baghdad, Iraq, causing many deaths and injuries, including Sulaimani, a brigade commander of the special forces of iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The Pentagon subsequently confirmed that U.S. armed forces attacked Soleimani on the orders of President Trump. Later, the White House also issued a statement on social media confirming this statement.

Agence France-Presse reported that security services revealed that despite U.S. military airstrikes outside Baghdad airport, the airport remained open for flights.
