US Secretary of State responded to reports coming from Iraq following the killing of Iranian Qassem Soleimani Friday.
"Iranian-owned Kata’ib Hizballah thugs are telling Iraqi security forces to abandon their duty to protect US Embassy in Baghdad and other locations where Americans work side by side with good Iraqi people", Pompeo tweeted, "The Iranian regime telling Iraq’s government what to do puts Iraqi patriots' lives at risk. The Iraqi people want out from under the Iranian yoke; indeed, they recently burned an Iranian consulate to the ground".
