Iraq's military spokesman on Monday condemned U.S. air strikes against militia targets on the border with Syria as a "breach of sovereignty" in a rare criticism of U.S. military action.
Yehia Rasool, who published the remarks on his Twitter account, was referring to air strikes that killed at least four Iran-aligned Shi'ite paramilitary fighters.
The U.S. military, which leads an international coalition in Iraq, works closely with the Iraqi military in fighting remnants of the Daesh [ISIS] militant group.
