According to Sputnik, the US State Department condemned the drone strike on the residence of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, calling it an “obvious terrorist act” and offering to help with the investigation.
US State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement that the United States was following reports of an attack on the prime minister’s residence and was pleased to know that the prime minister was unharmed.
This blatant terrorist act, which we strongly condemn, has targeted the heart of Iraq. We are in close contact with the Iraqi security forces, who are defending the sovereignty and independence of Iraq, and we have offered to help investigate this attack. Commitment to our Iraqi partners is unshakable. The United States stands with the Iraqi government and people.
