"The airstrike constituted 'heinous aggression,' to which Iraq reserved 'the right to respond by all available means,' said Sabah al-Numan, a spokesman for the commander of Iraq's armed forces."
"'We're aware of the reports. U.S. forces did not target a medical clinic in Iraq,' Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins stated, emphasizing the denial of targeting a medical facility."
"In two videos of the aftermath of the attack shared on social media, a crowd of heavily armed men climb over crushed concrete alongside emergency workers and police."
"The Post found that at least nine of the aircraft were at Muwaffaq, indicating a significant U.S. military presence in the area during the incident."
The Iraqi government accused the United States of conducting an airstrike on a military base in Anbar province, resulting in seven deaths and 13 injuries among Iraqi military personnel. Iraq's spokesman condemned the attack as 'heinous aggression' and stated the country reserves the right to respond. The U.S. denied targeting a clinic but did not provide further details. Videos verified by The Washington Post showed the aftermath, including emergency workers at the site, and indicated the presence of U.S. aircraft in the area.
