Iraq Ensures To Provide Security To Envoys, Embassies

Iraq Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi promised to protect the embassies and diplomats in the country. The statement came after the US warned of shutting its embassy following rocket attack at the US diplomatic compounds. PM Kadhimi said, "Iraq is keen on enforcing the rule of law... protecting foreign missions, and diplomatic buildings." The US blamed the attacks on Iran-based terror groups and appreciated PM Kadhimi's response.
