The Iraqi foreign ministry has summoned the US chargé d’affaires in Baghdad to deliver a formal memorandum of protest over US airstrikes in Iraq against Iran-backed militias, the state news agency INA reports.

The strikes were carried out after the militants launched a drone strike that killed three American soldiers in Jordan earlier this week.
