Iran blasts ‘audacity’ of US to blame it for Iraq violence
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTEHRAN, Iran — Tehran lashes the “audacity” of Washington to blame it for violent demonstrations against the United States in Iraq, and calls on the US to reconsider its policies in the region.
“The surprising audacity of American officials is so great that after killing at least 25… and violating the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, that now… they attribute the Iraqi people’s protest against their cruel acts to the Islamic Republic of Iran,” foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi says in a statement.
US officials, including President Donald Trump, have said Iran was behind a violent attack today by Shiite militiamen and their backers on the US embassy in Baghdad.
