Iraq will send delegations to Washington and Tehran to help “halt tension” amid fears of a confrontation between the US and Iran in the Middle East, Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has said.
He said on Tuesday there were no Iraqi groups that wanted to push towards a war. On Sunday, a rocket fired in Baghdad landed close to the US Embassy.
No one has claimed responsibility for the rocket fired into the heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses government buildings and diplomatic missions.
US government sources said Washington strongly suspects Shiite militias with ties to Tehran were behind the rocket attack, Reuters reported. Iran has rejected allegations of involvement in attacks.
