‘No approval, no prior knowledge’: Iraq denies backing US-Saudi airstrikes
Iraq rejected President Trump's claim of coordination, saying it had 'no approval, no prior knowledge' of the joint US-Saudi airstrikes inside Iraq.
The airstrikes, conducted by US Central Command (Centcom) and Saudi forces, targeted factions within the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) across seven Iraqi provinces.
The operation was defended by the US and Saudi Arabia as a response to alleged drone attacks, but Iraq's denial has triggered a diplomatic dispute between the allies.
