"US Admits Failure to Notify Iraq of Airstrikes Despite Previous Assertions"

The United States has admitted that it did not notify the Iraqi government before its recent air strikes in the country, despite earlier claims. Tensions between Washington and Baghdad have escalated as the Biden administration has carried out strikes inside Iraq in response to attacks on US forces, which it has blamed on Iran-aligned groups. The clarification came after White House officials initially claimed that Iraq had been informed in advance, leading to condemnation from Iraqi officials and accusations of false claims aimed at misleading international public opinion.
