The United States and the United Kingdom commit another monstrous aggression against the people of Iraq; U.S. and U.K. war planes today bombed the suburbs of Baghdad injuring at least 11 civilians and killing three others. This action is a clear aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq in accordance with the United Nations’ charter.

Iraq considers this action a part of a continuous war of aggression waged against Iraq with bombs and sanctions since 1991.

This aggression is waged by three countries, two of which are involved directly, namely the United States and the United Kingdom. And the third country is Israel, which has a direct benefit from such aggression because of Iraq’s obvious position vis-à-vis the issue of Palestine. So these two countries prepare the grounds for the Zionist entity to commit another aggression against Arabs and Palestinians.
