CAIRO, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Iraq’s ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement on Thursday that it has summoned the Iranian ambassador to inform him of Iraq’s refusal to strike military bases on Iraqi lands and that it considers this action as a violation of sovereignty.
The statement also said that summoning the Iranian official comes in the context of Iranian retaliatory missile strikes. (Reporting by Alaa Swilam Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
