Khalid al-Yaqoubi, security advisor to Iraq’s prime minister, says his country will file a sovereignty complaint to the United Nations Security Council.
He told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Iraqi security forces have lost 80 members and 150 have been wounded since the Middle East war began February 28.
Al-Yaqoubi said the US has violated Iraq’s airspace, while Iran is to blame for attacks against Kurdish forces in the country’s north.
“We are against the aggression on Iran because it is not justified,” he said about the war that was launched by the US and Israel.
He said the security forces include Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Force, a coalition of Iran-backed militia that is nominally under the control of the Iraqi military.
