Iraq won't let US strike Iran from its territory
2019-06-26
[RT] Baghdad will not allow Washington to use its military bases to launch an attack on Iran, the country's president stressed, thrashing Donald Trump's warmongering policies towards the Islamic Republic.

“We do not want our territory to be a staging post for any hostile action against any of our neighbors, including Iran,” Iraq's President Barham Salih told CNN, noting that there is no agreement between Baghdad and Washington that could make Donald Trump think he can use it as such.
That's nice. Fortunately we have those lovely aircraft carrier groups nearby, not to mention bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and elsewhere. You just go back to practicing being a satrapy of the Medes and the Persians, ‘k?

#1  Time to EXFIL every last US soldier, Marine, Airman and contractor, and let Iran and Iraq bugger one another until the end times.
