BAGHDAD, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Iraq on Monday condemned the U.S. attack on Hashd Shaabi bases near Iraq's border with Syria, which killed 25 people and injured 51 others.
"The Iraqi government condemns this act and considers it a violation of Iraq's sovereignty," said a statement released after an emergency session held by the Iraqi National Security Council (INSC).
The attack "pushes Iraq to review the relationship" with the U.S.-led coalition on the security, political and legal levels, according to the statement.
Established in 2004, the INSC is in charge of coordinating Iraq's national security, intelligence and foreign policy strategy.
The INSC statement came a day after the U.S. forces bombarded headquarters of Hashd Shaabi's 45th and 46th Brigades.
An U.S. military statement said that U.S. forces attacked five bases of Kata'ib Hezbollah (KH) in Iraq and Syria in response to repeated attacks by KH against U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq.
