Iraqi president calls for restraint after deadly US strike

Iraqi President Barham Saleh calls for restraint after a US strike killed top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis outside Baghdad airport.

“We call on everyone to restrain themselves,” Saleh says in a statement, characterizing the strike as an “aggression” and saying Iraq will be destabilized if “voices of reason” do not prevail.
