'US, Iraq agree to keep Baghdad out of Iran war'

 The United States Embassy in Baghdad said on Friday that the US and Iraq established a High Joint Coordination Committee and that they agreed to work on keeping Iraq "outside the scope of the ongoing military conflict in the region."

"At the first meeting of the High Joint Coordination Committee, the Iraqi and US sides decided to intensify cooperation to prevent terrorist attacks and ensure that Iraqi territory is not used as a launching point for any aggression against the Iraqi people, the Iraqi Security Forces, Iraqi strategic facilities and assets, as well as against US personnel, diplomatic missions, and the Global Coalition," the embassy said in a post on X.

Since the start of Washington's war on Iran, Tehran has targeted US assets in Iraq on several occasions, including its military bases and the embassy.
