TL;DR Summary

Iraq recalls its ambassador from Tehran and summons Iran's chargé d’affaires in protest over Iranian missile strikes on northern Iraq and Syria, which killed civilians. Iran claimed to target Israeli "spy headquarters" and Islamic State positions, but Iraq denies the presence of such targets. The strikes come after the Islamic State claimed responsibility for suicide bombings in Iran and Iran accused Israel of killing a high-ranking Iranian general. The United States condemned the strikes, while Iran defended them as a defense of its sovereignty and security.
