The US has carried out strikes on Iraq and Syria in retaliation to an attack that killed three American troops in Jordan last weekend.
The Iraqi military has warned the strikes will have ‘disastrous’ consequences for the region.
The White House had blamed an Iran-backed militia umbrella group for the attack that killed three US soldiers.
Iraq says that the US retaliatory strikes will bring disastrous consequences for the region and that civilians were among 16 people killed.
The US says its forces conducted airstrikes against Iran-baked militia groups based in Iraq and Syria.
“Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing,” President Biden said in a statement on Friday.
