Iran says US strikes on Iraq show its ‘support for terrorism’
TEHRAN, Dec 30, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Iran said Monday that the US has shown
its “support for terrorism” by carrying out air strikes on forces in Iraq
that have dealt blows against the Islamic State group.
“With these attacks, America has shown its firm support for terrorism and
its neglect for the independence and sovereignty of countries and it must
accept consequences for its illegal act,” government spokesman Abbas Mousavi
said in a statement.
