In a statement, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the attack as evidence that “terrorism” continues to threaten stability, calling for stronger regional and international coordination to confront extremist groups, dismantle their networks, and cut off their sources of support.

US President Donald Trump warned of “very serious retaliation,” adding that the wounded service members were in stable condition.
